Past...

she assumed the mantle
of the head honcho
yet this position wasn't
in her crescendo

the one who had been
born afore
she flagrantly opted
to ignore*

Present...

a chief's cap
on her crown of authority
she'd always wear it
with an air of superiority

this forewoman's
signature to keep
her elder being
the compliant sheep

Future...

she took a walk
down the lane
of clearer thought
where she realized
that serenity in the family
was sought

off came the crown's
wayward hobbles
on the lane where they'd be
*happier kinfolk cobbles
