Journey

have you ever looked at yourself and said,
thats not me, thats who i was, thats who id
like to be, but thats not who i am.
because the girl in the picture..
she knew what she had
she knew where she was going
she smiles at you innocently
because thats exactly what it was..
innocence.
not a coverup to hide folded up secrets
inexplainable emotions
mixed up pains
guilt??
no. the girl in the picture
puts faith even in broken promises
she knows that even a simple wink
mends better than a band-aid.
and when it comes to problems..
her biggest dilemma is:
how to watch her favorite
saturday morning cartoons
before field service.
then she will grow up.
she will learn that growing up
means saying goodbye
saying no
she will learn that
saturday morning cartoons
made her laugh
but serving her God
made her live.
she will learn that
her favorite $7 purple pen
is a therapy in disguise
she will learn that
when she dont know what to say
she always know what to write
and that she will have a friend
that will share her journey.
a friend who will always
write back.
