Some days I feel
The weight on my shoulder
But I seem somehow
To carry that great boulder
Be it love or family
Or money that’s my plight
I'm bound and determined
To win the fight
I may struggle
But this is my life
And I proudly stand
And sing with the fife
I am but a child
But you can hear my voice
I’ll soon be grown
And one day I’ll rejoice
To see what I’ve become
Standing tall and proud
Everything I’ve chosen
You’ll here me sing out loud

excellent
You did an excellent job at putting yourself in the shoes of a sixteen year old, espically a girl, maybe you can offer me some advice dealing with mine when she has her mood swings. Great kid most days but she does have her moments. -
very well written full of hope

wondrous honesty
My dearest One --
I read and I am amazed. How we are all related in some dimension outside this reality of sadness.
Please read my latest post: Again and Again. May this uplift your soul.
Love
Myra
