Woman in the Red Coat

Every day she goes out Putting on her red coat She gets her things together Heads out to start her day She visits her favorite café Slowly sipping her coffee Thinking about her day As she finishes her coffee She gets ready to leave Putting her coat back on Packing up her things She has had the coat for years It came with her to a new land When she wears it it feels like an old friend Red is a favorite color of hers In a way the coat helps define her It’s like being with a part of home Woman in the red coat
