A beautiful little girl with hair of black,
stood outside her new school with her hand-me-down backpack.
A new place, a new life, she was starting over again,
"Will I be accepted?" She wondered, "will I fit in?"
She nervously stepped forward. She and her mom said their goodbyes,
She stepped in the door, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
A decade or so later, many friends she had made.
A special boy in particular, though her daddy forbade.
When he asked, she said "YES!", though fifteen was far too young,
But she knew it was meant to be, like a beautiful song unsung.
The wedding was to be quaint, but what would follow was a mysterious surprise,
As she walked down the aisle to her new life, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Three kids later and a passing of seventeen years,
a loss of trust and constant fighting made her meet her worst fears.
More plentiful than the harsh words, were the ones left unspoken.
So he was to move out, and their home would become broken.
She cried on the drive to the courthouse. It was the day they'd cut all ties.
As her pen touched the papers, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
After years of working her heart out and being dead on her feet,
She had sacrificed and forfeited, just to make ends meet.
She gave them her everything, and now her kids were grown.
With hearts like hers, and careers and children of their own.
She was a doting grandmother, that loved to giggle and play.
That's why she ignored her symptoms and prayed they'd go away.
But soon, her "cold" took a turn and went far south.
She cried as the horrifying words came out of her doctor's mouth.
Though the side effects were great, she continued to fight.
Even when her body grew tired, she battled with all her might.
The reading of scan results, she had grown to despise.
She had a choice to make. So she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Her kids rallied and worked hard to meet her ailing needs,
despite their efforts, her condition worsened at a rapid speed.
Then the morning that it was destined for her soul to rise,
her children held her gently and said their goodbyes.
The room was filled with sadness and cries,
as they watched their mama take one last deep breath, and close her eyes........
A beautiful woman with not the first hair,
stood outside Heaven's Gates with a heart full of prayer.
A new place, a new life, she was born again.
"Will I be accepted?", she wondered "Will I get in?"
Excitedly, she walked forward, and it was no surprise,
The gate swung open. She smiled. Took a deep breath. And closed her eyes.
