Priceless

By Wooky

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've heard so much about herAnd I haven't even met her.Her name is RoseAnd she lives nearby.She four feet tallAnd the same wide.Her husband is a drunk,A drunk who gambled their house away.They live in an apartment, They have no money.Her mother died.Then her brother.Yet everyday she has a smile on her face.She's fifty-four and has a heart of gold.I bought diamond ear-rings.And I asked her how they looked.I told her to try them on,And so she did.Her face lit up like nothing ever has before.One thousand dollars spent,But the look on her face was. . .Priceless.
