Eve of Womanhood

Think

Sometimes,

I like to escape from the noise in life,

and go somewhere quiet and peaceful.

in the woods,

or in a still field,

and just

 think.

I think about my day,

my hopes, 

my dreams,

I think about why people have to change.

I think about war,

and wonder why we couldn't just all get along.

I just stand there,

breathing in the cool air,

and I think.

Sometimes I like to escape from the noise in life

and just think my own thoughts.

A Mother's Message

Baby,

You have your whole future ahead of you.

You can be whoever you want to be.

You don't have to worry,

because I will be with you
every step of the way.
This world can be a hard place to live.
You will have to be brave
in lives difficulties.
But I believe you can.
Stop your crying
 Baby,
you have plenty of time to cry

So save those tears for later.
You will have to make tough decisions in your life.
but don't worry,
I'll be with you.
To laugh with you,
to cry with you,
to hope with you.
Baby,
you have your whole future ahead of you
and I'll be with you
every step of the way.
every step of the way.
