SOON ENOUGH

A young girl sends a message for all the world to hear...

Her heart breaks of the things that her eyes see...

She knows contradiction and hypocrisy...

She knows of the dying and the issues among the living...

She knows not of a future that was promised...

She knows of the brokenness that none can fix...

She's pained for when it's her time to be a mother and for the life of her children and theirs...

She knows not of the man who will stay by her side through thick and thin...

She watches the adults and knows she will be one herself soon enough...

Hugs...

Such a write of understanding, reasoning and rationality as this is rare.
You embrace the dynamism of youth portraying it in a committed way emphasising realities of living those years.
Great work.
All the best to you.
