Back In Circulation

She was an elegant lady,
Proud and free,
Independent and bold,
Yet she spent
The nearly ten years
After a nasty divorce
Playing it safe,
Afraid to open her heart,
To venture out,
Or to trust another man.
She never wanted
It to be that way,
But she allowed her fears
To overwhelm
Her naturally vivacious
And playful spirit.
She had a big heart
And a lot of love to give,
But it was caged
Inside her defenses.
When she finally drummed up
The courage
To go out on a date,
She couldn’t believe
How much fun she had,
So look out world,
The ice has melted,
And she is back in circulation.
