Hairy Belly Button

Hairy Belly Button

© 2002 by Bud Lemire

This may sound crazy, but it's true

Inside my belly button, some hair grew

For many years, it had been there

I was too afraid, of the news to share

Attached to cartilage, that was connected to me

And I am telling you, it was a sight to see

It was no fuzzy navel, it really was hair

And if I showed anyone, they would stare

So I kept it all to myself, never a word to say

I wondered if this, made me unique in a way

Or maybe this patch of hair, made me a freak

I never thought to find answers, I should seek

I accepted it, as being part of me

And of all, it was meant to be

I couldn't pull it out, because I tried

When I did, it made me hurt inside

It wasn't until true love, came my way

I found it came loose, on this certain day

Was this Hairy Belly Button, some sort of sign

To let me know, this love was to be mine

It was things on my mind at the time
