All my life I've been
Someone elses' something
Grandpas' girl
Moms' right hand
Little sisters' protector...
Best friend, wife, mother...
...but now...now...
It's my time
My time to soar,
To learn, to teach,
To explore, to seek
All I've missed in my life.
It's my time
To find the child
Who got lost long ago
And let her play.
It's my time
To nurture the young girl
No one had the time to teach
And show her the world.
It's my time
To cherish the woman I've become
And allow myself to love
Myself.

It's my time.

do I believe we'd be better off apart?
can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...

Your time to shine, nurture that little girl.Beautifully capture in this work.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

It's been my time for quite awhile, but I can't find that little girl. She must still be hiding afraid to make a mistake.
Go enjoy and tell us of your adventures.
