Nicole

In her young years she was a swimmer and she had this wonderful dream That she would compete for Australia as part of the Olympic team And though she made the National finals and there she swam her greatest race She could not compete for her Country as she was beaten out of a place. Nicole wasn't too disappointed I tried my best she now recall To be the fourth best in your Country did not seem so bad after all Not every one can be a winner and a few swam faster than I, I finished half of a body length behind the winner but at least I gave it my best try. She's forty though she looks a bit younger and her only offspring Jill has just turned nineteen And she works as a solicitor's secretary and work gives to her self esteem Her five years of marriage a disaster her ex husband now with his fourth wife She's now happy to live as a divorcee without any man in her life. Her ex husband had been cheating on her he was having his 'bit on the side' And she felt a devalued woman and that wasn't good for her pride She felt glad when he finally left her only disrespect to her he had shown For awhile for him she harboured resentment though now that sort of stuff she's outgrown. Nicole in her teens was a swimmer and against the best she did compete And she once reached the National finals and out of a place was just beat Last February she turned forty and life's ups and downs she has seen And now she is single and carefree and as happy as she's ever been.
