Entwined at times...this lady and girl...
Giggling at silly little things, crying too...
So sensitive, kind caring....

A woman born a girl, riding life’s
carousel of dreams, heartaches and realities...
The roller coaster of life carrying her along
on the wings of angels which inspire her
thoughts and feel of all that surrounds her.

Smothered by sins grasp...so small a girl.
A precious gift to all, loved by all, ‘cept one
who never knew the truth of love...
This little girl....God’s gift to the world.

Up the slope of feelings into the crash of
swirl in thoughts.....Laughing outside and
crying inside to be let out.... Please...
Please let me out, let me be, the dreams
that talk to her....reminders of then...awakening
to the fuzziness of the starkness....crying..

Growing, loving, caring, yet....so alone...
Wanting yet fearing...one small step...
Or one hurried leap into the unknown...
Falling, yet another lock of wed...falling..failing..

Let me out, it is safer outside...let me come play..
For now I know the wolf that calls the sheep...
I, this lady....once a girl.....still twirling, dancing,
smiling, sharing, caring, giving....and sometimes...
crying....

Look into her eyes, her words....you will see...
See this woman, beautiful....see the girl, the
precious little girl...riding a carousel...for two..

Hello Barry

I could relate to so much of this. My writing has brought me so much confidence, yet inside there is a timid girl who is often so unsure of herself. Your words really moved me, as they often do.

Take care.....Sue

Barry, I can certainly relate to this poem and appreciate so much that it was written by a man. What a kind and sensitive man you are; not too many of your kind around!!!

I sent your words to my daughter, as so many of us are tough broads on the outside and little girls on the inside.

Thank you for this - it spoke volumes to me. Hugs, Marti

Inside every "tough broad" is a little girl.
You handled this so very well, Barry...
Thanks for sharing it.
