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
