Grace

‎~I Am Here and I am Alive~

I caught my refection there
stopped and took a long hard stare

Child like eyes
glance upon a woman's face

I have memorized every line
her every trace

The smile she wears
disguises her pain

I cry for the girl in the mirror
shed the unshed tears

Her spirit a rage

She desires better days

She shall fly
depart from this forsaken place

Wide open road
new dreams ahead

I caught a glimpse of her strength
she will make her way

Try and stop her
I saw her smile say

New adventures
discoveries and risks to make

I looked upon my reflection
I like that woman's face

Though she has seen rough times
the sparkle in her eye remains
