Terra Firma

Back on terra firma.
Solid ground beneath my feet.
Self confidence returned.
No longer inept.

Back on terra firma.
And Daddy's little girl.
Wise-cracking ball breaker.
Tongue lash ready to unfurl.

Back on terra firma.
Step back and let me pass.
I'm in a hurry to catch up.
With my past, at last.

Back on terra firma.
Confidently supreme.
Blessed with so many talents.
It makes me want to scream.

Thank you Dad for planting me.
and Mum, to let me come.
Now, all I need is company.
And a lot more FUN!
