“As I Grow”

As I grow, I Hope that the world is kind,

as I grow I hope that I am allowed

to be me, to be free, to just simply be…

As I grow.

I am so empty during this time of year,

hoping, wishing, reaching for anything of peace

anything lacking chaos,

that my bring my heart a little ease.

As I grow, I will reflect on things of yesterday

while embracing the treasures of tomorrow

and as I grow I will remember to cherish the memories

but still let go of the sorrow…

as I grow.
