Rosy

In her younger years her shoulder length wavy hair was chestnut brown Rosy in her prime one of the pretty girls of the town Now in her late forties with a son of twenty three She is not the woman that she once used to be She dyes her hair brown to cloak her silver gray And use anti ageing creams and makeup to keep age wrinkles at bay But she looks overweight and it is true to say That she is one who has known of a far better day Her ex husband Joe with her did not stay To her he was unfaithful some men are this way Without him she raised their son John on her own Of life's harder side Rosy has known Rosy looked quite beautiful in her physical prime Though this is going back many Seasons in time One of the town beauties a few decades ago Though eventually time becomes everyone's foe.
