Ambition

I see a little girl, ambition in her eyes... wanting but not wanting to be everything that is great. too young for a job, but old enough to work, just to work on becoming great. a burning desire, ambition in her eyes... doing well for her was never a suprise, she began to become everything she dreamed of, but she rested her head on the pillow and she thought of reality, is her greatness just a dream? who is this little girl that I always seem to see? when I dream of her, does she dream of me? Or am I just seeing and not seeing who I am growing up to be... -A

Wow, love the ending, it can go just about any where. Ashante, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT""
