Daughter To God

Well, God, I'll tell you:

Life for me has been a roller coaster.

It's had its ups in it,

and its downs,

the joys,

and places beneath the valleys-

A roller coaster.

But for the most part,

it's you that keeps me going.

Going for the top,

reaching for the stars,

hoping to make you proud.

Though life has been a roller coaster,

you've always been there to see me through.



Inspired by Langston Hughes poem Mother to son.
