The lady in blue


What are you looking for on your own?
Sitting pretty, on a stone.
Have you seen a seagull pass by?
Be careful something could drop in your eye.
Maybe you are trying to catch the sun,
Or could be boredom, that’s no fun.
People passing stop and look at you,
They admire your shades of blue.
Evening is coming very soon,
We will leave you to look at the moon.
