She had long wavy purple hair,
that was bouncy, just like her attitude.
Her fingernails were chipped, with fading polish and aspirations,
she played with her ripped hippie jeans.
There was always a song ringing in her head, this made her shoulders dance,
and she lounged wherever she went.
Laying in the tall goldenrod blooms she’d hum,
and daydream of being a spider.
Imagining her adroit legs spinning a bug,
she lived and breathed with a playful mind.
On this particular day,
she lounged in a hospital gown,
“You’re going to have a baby,”
the doctor waved his hand in front of her face,
waking her up from another daydream.
“Oh,” she fidgeted and pretended to tickle her own stomach.

Sand Under My Body
There is no one quite like you. You’re just breathtaking with the knowledge that you have and the heart that you carry in this life. Your heart is like a lighthouse by night and like a strong castle by day. You are always digging for new understanding and wisdom. You’re like the sand beneath my body or the colorful sky to my eyes. Inside of you, lies a wealth of love and affection. Your mind is like a garden of flowers that is endless.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

Love how she’s just enjoying through life, even in a hospital gown. I fully support her lounging lifestyle.✨
