Kim Merryman Poet Etheree

Birthday Girl

Young
beauty
on the cusp
of womanhood,
head in the clouds, dreams
in her eyes. She ponders
life - her life. Why was she born?
What will she become? Will she get
married? Will she have kids? She shrugs her 
shoulders and runs off to play with her friends.

For my granddaughter Hannah who just turned 12.
