Growing

Sometimes you have to grow 
to fully understand life
the ugly duckling 
became a swan
 It's beauty was revealed in time
healing your heart
takes time
love is gift
you can give
or take
 Whatever you give
so you will reap
family has away
of hurting you
like no other
 It's your choice
to forgive
nobody possess power
unless given
 See the beauty
within
time will show
that you can 
fly
