With a car of her own
She has become a big girl now
With a little girl’s heart
Running and speeding, searching
For light
Sometimes with fear
When the darkness descends
Learning to accept it
When she doesn’t understand
That God was always there
She just couldn’t see
When the light was dim
In looking for Him
She needs to step back
And embrace this darkness
Not asking why
Learning to wait until it
Reveals what it has in mind
She is far too serious
Becoming oblivious to her
Ways
She will learn to dance
And sing
And to remember, the
Music composed, will lead
Her through life!
