Runaways

Betrayed innocence Feet step from the city bus Their eyes fixed in awe Where will the new roads take them? May they soon be led back home

Amen to that...too many teens think they know it all and think it will be easy living somewhere else on their own.,..nothing could be more wrong. Well said, Kristin

Michael; I liked the poignancy of this. You have a good pivot in L3, it is smooth and hardly noticeable; but L1-3 and L3-5 make good separate observations and the two joined together work well. Thanks.
