I Showed Up Early
by Cheryl Hartley
I showed up early
My husband is late
I’m afraid of being late
How did late get to mean dead?
Who the hell wants to be late
Unless you’re late inside.
So I showed up early
Some people are born late
Some are “Too little Too late”
I showed up early
because I want my time!
