Understanding
Growing up so very fast
Moments like these are meant to last
A child only moments before
Now her future unsure
A child still is she
A woman she must now be
Childhood becomes distant
Innocence lost in an instant
Into her hands, her future she must take
A life changing decision she must now make
Was she really prepared?
Or, just really scared?
Still reeling from the impact
Trying to keep her heart intact
Not sure where to turn
This raging fire continues to burn
Trying not to show emotions
Just moving through the motions
Scream, shout, kick or cry
Instead, sits down with a sigh
Holding her head in her hands
Thinking nobody understands
She is wrong, she knows
Three, who's love shows
Her very best friend
Will always be there until the end
Her loving, gentle man
Comforts her like no one else can
Last, understanding from another
Is the bond between this daughter and her mother
