Me & My Abaya

It’s me & my abaya today, all day, everyday.
It’s me & my abaya, lurking the streets day by day.
It’s me & my abaya, strolling to the bookstore.
It’s me & my abaya, shopping, being a bore.

My one and only companion, like a shield it protects.
My one and only part, that covers my body to respect.
It’s part of me, my life and all.
It’s funny how a piece of cloth, makes you such a doll.

It’s me & my abaya, that makes me who I am.
It’s me & my abaya, keeping me up to stand.
The trips we have together, are always a delight.

It has the Starbucks coffee scent, and boy, it makes my day bright!
You see, it’s me & my abaya, who’ll always be up for a morning stroll.

Then at night, the lights are down, and it’s time to take a laundry toll.
It’s me and my abaya, separate for a night.
It’s me & my abaya, waiting for dawn and sunlight.
