The Pearl
Tamoor
▶ Play the recordingShe was at the age
Of no time for school
Or establishment rule
Where a jock is cool
And a geek’s a fool
She was at the age
Where everything’s new
And there’s too much to do
Where boys are many
And men too few
She at the age where
Boyfriends change
And images matter
Where women compete
And shallow friends scatter
She was at the age
Of learning to dance
And tasting romance
Where loving to flirt
Can flatter or hurt
She was at the age of
No mountain too big
No crevasse too steep
No river too wide
No cavern too deep
She was at the age
Of becoming a woman
No longer a girl
The oyster opens
Revealing it’s pearl
