She’s dressed in righteousness
as high as mountains
and as wide as beaches
not because she is made of righteousness
as high as mountains
and as wide as beaches
but because they want to see
righteousness as high as mountains
and as wide as beaches
so righteousness as high as mountains
and as wide as beaches
she’s forced to wear.
This post was written for Poetry Potluck…this week’s theme is “Mountains and Beaches”…have a great week, everybody…cheers! 🙂
