Thirteen stripes of red and white
Stars set in azure blue
Mean more to me than fifty states
They stand for love and freedom too
...
Mademoiselle
Still so young
Yet, so mature
So much pose
Yet, not quite sure
No false moods
Yet, forever sweet
Conveys her thoughts
somewhat discreet
Eager for life
for what lies ahead
Down her chosen path
Where strange feet tread
Serene and serious,
Yet, a few frills
Make up the charms
Of Mademoiselle.
