Blushing Rosette


Verse

Verse

I was taught to perk up my back

Like the old ones behind me to get respect

Turn my head, put my nose up in the air


Plumped skirts 

Flowered hats

Nail polished tights

Vaselined patent leather

for Saturday night        church

Close your eyes and ears

To the neighbors affairs


Chorus

You’re in the magic

Rosette

I was told will come to me 

You being very impatient

Won’t help you blushing rosette


Verse

I may be French but I tell you 

There is nothing to bashful

Why I have to try so hard to masquerade

I don’t know


Bridge

The cold chewy fruit cake at holidays

Stale leftover salty snacks

In a smoke filled room


Leftover from the adults


Chorus

You’re in the magic

Rosette

I was told will come to me 

You being very impatient

Won’t help you blushing rosette


Verse

The allure in all this

My sweet smiles turn to 

dirty pants with mud

A fishing pole with slime

Still 20 years later

I’m still rosy to this



Chorus

You’re in the magic

Rosette

I was told will come to me 

You very impatient girl

You blushing rosette


blushing rosette


repeat


you blushing rosette


blushing rosette


repeat x3

 I'm working on a composition for this song and think I have a pretty draft to at least put my lyrics to. Watch for this in my next podcast episode Lori Jean Finnila Singer Songwriter. Image by  Moondance  from  Pixabay   "I Can Overcome You" by Lori Jean Finnila Verse You take me down By one look at you Though I’m drawn to you I still have fear to face You’re so powerful Your strength takes me down At the same time  The strongest to my imagination You are outside of my conception I’ll find a way to take my steps to you Chorus Though my fear appears to be stronger Your depth is far equal to I know, I can overcome you…… Verse Your dark and long Dry and strong Holding me in my chest I can’t breathe I can’t see straight But in reality You’re just a beautiful place Am I to  move on from here And feel my true beauty and resilience I feel I need to take these steps And once I’ve done this They’ll be so many more I know,  so sadly But so true Chorus Though my fear appears to be

 This I felt so strongly within this past hour. I could feel the coldness of how unimportant she was. I do remember her as an important woman. News Article Image by  Nicole Turner  from  Pixabay   What is the difference between this beautiful woman who is trying to find her beauty and strength in a tent?  A Woman's Struggle With the Fear of Camping Alone Unreasonable Expectations written by Lori Jean Finnila You are lost now not knowing what you see so sure of your fear before you die As you lay here dying no one hears you crying you eventually die eventually others who know your pain cry In the beauty of nature you find your last home perhaps finally feeling the safest ever perhaps it was a wanderer perhaps it was your fear that took you to your last day here I will remember you I know your journey I know your path I am a woman too who couldn’t fit into what was expected of us We all know too much we can’t fit into this triangle   of expectations that are unreasonably put upon us
