THE GIRL YOU WERE
Run, ran, running from your past the girl you were
will not work where would you go wherever you go
you are there your bags packed a heavy weight around
your neck
your neck
no longer smiling you dive deep get the bends
returning to the surface/take a deep breath your legs still pumping
surely there is a better way/look carefully at the girl you were
nurture her in the way of the mother and the father hold
her close again
her close again
she is not much taller than your knee/a little angel/give thanks for
her
her

Ah, I do think we have to nurture the person we once were. She is within us and is in need of love and care.....just as much as the person we are today!
Very interesting writings.
