Over Time

Hair blonde
In the 60's sun
My pig-tails of stubby candy canes
Made my head look happy.
Hair brown
Middle school perms good and bad
Settled in for a spell
While braces came and went.
Hair brownish-gray
Silver wires
Sprout easily these days
I tame them with a bottle.

  1. I am particularly fond of the line about making your head look happy. The thought makes me smile from the inside out!
