The Child Becomes a Woman (a poem)

The small child a girl
Prayed to have arms to embrace
Hear words of love
For once feel safe

The growing girl
Hoped for value as a friend
Part of secrets part of play
Wanted friends on whom she could depend

The woman once a child
Waited for the heart of one
The desire to be dear
Feel the passion of love

These three in one
Waited hoped and prayed
Knowing that one day
Love would forge its way

i enjoyed that.
it’s like a unity of three. the process of growth where values change but the promise of love is equally as desired.

If you haven’t tried to publish this type of aritcle in a major paper, you should give it a try. It needs to be available to as many people as possible. This is amazing information.
