Fear to Courage: Becoming the Adult I Ought to be
Days on the playground
Nights reading fairytales,
Feeling like queen of the mound
Until I hit the ground
Suddenly my fails
Surround with no avail.
Fear of life overcomes me.
Growing up, now I see
I’m not as strong as I thought I’d be.
Thankfully I find
A Power that can transform my mind.
Growing up, now I see
He is stronger than I thought I’d be.
He picked me up,
He filled my cup.
Before long, I began to grow
With courage being a trait I finally showed.
Finally it was me,
and I was free,
becoming the adult I ought to be.
