Lick your wounds and dust your skirt
Brush your hair and smile
You know that time has been unkind
The years have passed you by
Chances that were never taken
Disasters left undone
No gains from ventures best unspoken
No milk stains on the floor
Children did not give you headaches
Or jump upon your couch
Now nobody will visit
Sunday dinners still for one
Your heart aches came only from watching
Soap operas and prime time
You stayed away from cads and liars
You learned off of the backs of others
Making no mistakes
Today the sun rose over head
The birds chirped and the trees have started blooming
The squirrels and birds have come and gone
The paper stays unread
The coffee cup is empty now
Your bank account still full
You're ready now to take a risk
But, who will risk on you?
