Not for a Man

   

Written by:

The rain slips me away

Into another day.

Another day waiting,

Another day pining.

Not for a man,

But that my skills

May be in demand.

Not for a man,

But that the government

May give me a hand.

Not for a man,

But that my university

May decide that I live in their land.

Another day waiting.

Another day playing.

Giving my child the endless summer

She never had.

      I’m sure the grandbabies love and will cherish their memories of summer with you.
