Description:
| Brown Penny by William Butler Yeats I whispered, ‘I am too young,’ And then, ‘I am old enough’; Wherefore I threw a penny To find out if I might love. ‘Go and love, go and love, young man, If the lady be young and fair.’ Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, I am looped in the loops of her hair. O love is the crooked thing, There is nobody wise enough To find out all that is in it, For he would be thinking of love Till the stars had run away And the shadows eaten the moon. Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, One cannot begin it too soon. I'm an old fashioned, real, red blooded, passionate, strong, American woman. I have sons. I have a dog. I own a Chrysler. I have two parents who are aging but still married to each other and have never slept a night apart since they were 18, and they still think riding motorcycle together and touring the US with each other is the best part of their lives. I have one brother. A small but strong family who have lived here in the heartland of Iowa for hundreds of years. Not a couple decades but hundreds. I work full time. I am enrolled in medical classes full time. I have been many things from the IS VP of an insurance company to tending and caring for a family owned vineyard in Iowa. I've done many things, experienced many things. Made some excellent choices and some not very brilliant decisions. That happens. I have closets full of expensive business suits and close to 30 evening gowns. My favorite choice would be old and faded jean shorts and the swimsuit of the day. If I'm wearing jewels you can be certain I bought them, or they're inherited. And I like that. Who I am and how I am is at all times consistent with what I present and what I say. There's nothing false, fake, phoney or unreal about me. Any where. I don't play games, and can't stand people who do. I don't lie or mislead anyone about anything at any time. I require the same level of honesty from anyone who wants to be around me. Deceit of any sort is not tolerated. I am very brave, and tolerant. I endure and move forward and still enthusiastically LOVE my life. I choose to see life as an opportunity to be so much more than most people are willing to allow it to be in their own life. I don't think you can hold someone's hand or heart, if you're still clinging to your lost dreams. |
