Bonnie The Maid

Bonnie the old maid About town she did always parade, She was as happy as she could be Because, she was single and free. She needed no man at her side To that fact to all she had cried, To be happy and productive in this life She always said, "you need not be a wife". She was told that she needed a man As that is God's ultimate plan, But, she knew that wasn't the truth As she had once took a bite of that fruit. She had once loved and was married Over the threshold she once was carried, And during her marriage She was blessed in needing a baby carriage. Her friends said again she should wed Before time passes and she is dead, They said, "no one should ever die all alone" All of her women friends did cry and moan. Bonnie has family here, there and everywhere She always sends family and friends cards and a prayer, And of course an old maid she is not Truth and facts others were never taught. Bonnie the maiden walks down the street A stranger to no-one does she meet, Then she spoke with a twinkle in her eye "I won't be alone or sad when I die". Randy L. McClave
