She was brought into this world on a Friday evening in May A beautiful and healthy baby girl, with bright eyes She grew up in a loving family, with caring friends When she entered high school, she realized how hard life could be She faced tough decisions that had an impact on her life She realized that she didn't really want to grow up now That she wished she could stay young forever, like Peter Pan But you can't stay young forever, you have to grow up sometime And she has made the best decisions she could possibly make Yes, sometimes life has given her some hard choices to make But she somehow has always made it through the storms And she writes, of her emotions, of her life Of all the decisions life has given her, and how's she's made it She's come too far to stop now, Sweet 16, and still growing One day she will have children of her own, and watch them grow She will watch them make decisions that she once made, when she was young She is growing up, and moving into this thing that they call life I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem. I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect. [This message has been edited by angel_2401 (edited 08-12-2001).] |

angel- Yes...there are certainly a lot of decisions to be made in a life time...some easy, and some difficult. Wonderful job of expressing this. Congratulations on hitting 500!! ![]() *smiles* ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 08-15-2001).] |
