    Here This Little Girl


    Original poem (from the vault)


    rolling off life's highs and lows
    treading blindly on tip toes
    my earliest memory would be
    the world a total stranger to me

    i've came upon many crossroads
    many times carrying heavy loads
    made every choice uncertainly
    grew stronger by what burdened me

    i believed before i had seen
    that i was one half of a team
    i remember the butterflies inside
    when i first met my new guide

    here this little girl who would dream of birds
    most times i would heed her words
    she had this contagious laugh and smile
    she became my best friend as a child

    as i traveled through the east
    she was the one that gave me peace
    and days when it would storm
    she was the one who kept me warm

    the first time that i did not listen
    months had passed with her missing
    that is how i wound up south
    very unsure of my whereabouts

    i would keep going given to pride
    i stopped when i seen her back by my side
    i had to see where it had taken me
    and so i reached my awakening

    this world is so very grown
    yet i don't want to be on my own
    others may point and laugh
    but i am keeping my better half

    to maintain happiness on this course
    i never doubt that she is the source
    i know i will remain south for a while
    and hold on best i can to my inner child
