Your purplish eyelids remind me of Cher
And of decades past with my painted face,
Achy toes in high heels and polished nails,
Armed with a blank Resume and fake beauty.
But faith, confidence, optimism, dedication,
Hard work and passion led to my avocation.
A decade more and I’d be out of commission,
But who cares if I get to the finish line or not
(For friends have already been snatched by God)
For it’s all about the journey, is it not?
And a grateful heart for all that we’ve got.
Come walk with me further down the line
And forget Cher’s If I Could Turn Back Time
For I’ve embraced bone loss, wrinkles,
Waking stiffness and a bulging middle…
‘Tis true I’m creaking like the Tin Man now,
But this macaque reminds me somehow
I’ve got time for eyeshadow tutorials!
