The Life And Times Of Georgia Poem by Paula Glynn

Being born to poor but wonderful parents
On a tried-to-improve council estate in London
Georgia does yet still excel in secondary school
Showing other students she is never the fool
Passing her school exams with flying colours.

Continuing onto college and government funded university
Studying business and working part-time in healthcare
Aiming to be a big, bad boss of a fashion company
Knowing travelling the world is her ultimate dream
Moving vastly away from that poor council estate.

Graduating from university with a business degree
Learning about life and all she can know and see
Knowing she will never be the little woman
Although enjoying the fascinating adult dating scene
Knowing true love part of her life dream.

She does meet a seemingly honest man:
A man with charm, charisma and lust attraction
A marriage lasting two short and awkward years
Georgia telling him that she will always travel
That she will always be the strong woman.

Unfortunately the man to cheat on her
The divorce settlement barely much for him
Georgia a smart and intellectual woman
Knowing to never trust a stranger with her heart
That 1980's Kim Wilde song all too true.

Travelling for her work she does fly to far flung places
Endless airplane and train travel the norm
Georgia showing employees she's in top form
Her job requiring discipline and dedication
Her job showing her a strong and respectable woman.

Georgia also a part-time healthcare worker
When not globetrotting to exotic countries
When not going scuba diving in sunny climates
When not partying with good friends at sunset
Georgia living a life she'll never regret or forget.
