Hey, little girl

Hey, little girl, look up; look around
All the bad, nasty people have gone.

Close your umbrella, it's not raining anymore
Let your hands fly, it's your turn to soar.

Watch your step. You might trip and fall
But you'll only be making yourself stronger from it all

You might never forget things, its okay; you dont have to
Didn't each step only make you stronger? Acknowledge it, get the cue

Feel the breeze through your hair, hear the soft hum
There's so much more to life, don't you dare run.

You have someplace you belong, you've got somebody to love
Recall your favorite word - volare - rise above

Look into the mirror, see what you want to see
Sunshine, you have grown up; be what you want to be!

What's on my mind

2/06
Im not the same girl I was back in eighth grade,
Today, I can speak up for myself and stare back unafraid.


Anybody who knew me back then would agree that those lines suit me to a T.

Thank you! For at the end of it, if nothing else, you have left me a lot wiser. I'll be cautious the next time around
