39 and holding

Birthday?

She went that a way

Ben and Jerrys

helping her down that 'Rocky road'

tonight.

Sipping white wine

listening to cheatin songs

wondering where she went wrong

Turning 39 all alone.

Taking a bubble bath ponderin

this and that a little crying,

sipping wine eating all the ice cream

she wants for once.

White wine cheatin songs warm water

puts the Birthday Girl out

not as young as she once was.

So small and so alone in that big old bath tub.

Oh! A sad look at aging. Not that it can't be sad. Love the self indulgent pampering, we all need it once in awhile. Great work!

Beautiful picture! Beautiful entry, it's kind of playing your emotions, you're not sure how to feel almost. I loved this though, thanks for entering!!!

I enjoyed this piece, it sounded a little lonely but not desperate. Good luck in the contest.

Wow!
Softly sad but beautiful.... 39? Still a spring chicken.
