Learning To Love
To the outside world
her life appears great.
She is smart and pretty
but inside her heart aches.
Her friends are close, her
family is supportive,
but lurking within,
she wonders what gives.
Her dream as a girl
was to join with another soul,
yet at this moment in time,
she is sadly alone.
She longingly watches other
couples in love,
and wonders aloudly,
to the heavens above.
She knows she was not put on
this earth to be alone,
she has much to give,
like a nugget of gold.
It is an intangible quality
she desires and seeks,
this is a time of lessons,
to listen, and not speak.
She smiles with hope
as she begins to see,
her answer is becoming clear;
Learning to love,
the girl inside of me.
