ONCE A LADY

Once a lady with airs and graces

Dressed in diamonds.

Manicured nails and painted faces

Flashy cars and fancy restaurants

Socialites and opera nights

Sunset cruises, indulgent spas.

Life for her has not been kind

Her dream is shattered

She's in despair.

Once a lady, now the maid

Polishing silver, her reflection she sees

Wonders how this came to be.

Her life now has come full circle

From diamonds to dusters

Fate had dealt her a blow.

Her heart skips a beat

As she catches a glimpse

Of who she once use to be.
