I look around
I see the beauty of the world
As it revolves around me
I hear all my 30 of my friends calling my name
Telling me to hurry up and come play
I touch my smoothe skin
She was young and full of energy
She was misguided and corrupted
She was funny and mischievous
She fell and felt pain
She was loud and proud
A stranger knocked upon my door
I went to run away
To hide upstairs inside my room
Until they’d gone away
Long ago I walked through the store aisles hand in hand with Ma,
Never did I wonder the price or qualities of those treats and goodies that I sought,
My mother may not have a green thumb
Or be able to keep a plant alive
But she did plant the most important seed of all
The seed of love to help me thrive
I played outside
Sifted through the sand
The trees were my friends, my enimes and my mentors
I spent time in forts
On islands I created
I was the ruler of my own world
Here is your flower, you only get one
You’ll come to see its precious by the time I am done
It is something many will try to take, but your grip you cannot break
Betty. You fight for your life underneath all the clothes that have begun to lose their meaning, But I think you are the most meaningless of them all.
