The Burger House Queen
Cleans and cleans
Wondering how things
Might have been.
Had she been a singer
or a star
Instead of slinging burgers
in this bar.
What kind of life could
she have had?
Is the one she has
all that bad?
She is not rich
In material things
Only in those things
Wealth doesn't bring.
Her gold is the smile
of her child
when they make cookies.
The light in her husbands
Eyes when he gets
some nookie.
The warmth of their house
Oh so small.
The smell of fresh brewed
coffee wafting
down the hall.
Her riches are things
you can not buy.
Her fame, the love
In her family's eyes.
When you tally up all of
these things,
It ain't so bad...
being a Burger House Queen.
