Age is not always a function of years
Sometimes, age is gauged by actions
The number of years a person lives is age
But the actions of a person mean more than years

Sometimes we make mistakes with consequences
It’s easy to blame others and take the easy way out
It’s hard to make choices that are painful
But some choices have to be made

So don’t look at her and see a child
She is a woman in all but years
She has learned the hardest lesson there is to learn
Sometimes we have pain when we do the right thing

Jenny is a child in years, but she has endured things that no one should have to endure.  She was raped, beaten badly, became pregnant, and is giving the baby up for adoption.   I admire her spirit and courage in going forward.
