I miss the girl that…
giggled and gasped and let herself be ridiculous
was allowed to be lost and not yet found
had an unbroken heart and naïve will
thought things could stay the way they were – forever
knew anything was possible
sparkled
I love the girl that…
smiles that genuine smile
tries, cries and tries again
spills flour on the floor and gets batter on her forehead
sings “somewhere over the rainbow” entirely out of key
hopes and dreams
refuses to put herself in a box
is learning to stand up and be brave
I look forward to the girl that…
learns to love herself for who she is
finds her key to happiness
devotes and praises
loves a timeless love
accepts the things she cannot change
makes mistakes and lets herself be forgiven
Did you write this? I love it! You’re a poet.
I did, though it took me a while to be courageous enough to post it… Thanks Bethany! 🙂
