Spirit's Wisdom
by: DCD

There Was A Young Girl.. All Of Ten,
She Would Tell Herself My Friend's Are All Prettier And Smarter Then Me...
Years Of Self Destruction Followed Then.

Deep Down Her Spirit Would Say "You Are Worthy"

There Was A Young Lady Of Fifteen.. She Would Say "I Cannot Wait To Be Sweet Sixteen!" "Who Am I Kidding No Boys Will Like Me"

Deep Down Her Spirit Would Say "You Are Worthy"

There Was A Young Woman Of Twenty Wanting To Conquer The World So Badly...
Self Destruction Yes There Was Plenty So Afraid Inside Was She...

Deep Down Her Spirit Would Say "You Are Worthy"

There Was A Young Woman Of Twenty-Five... Learning To Live Healthy And Ready To Say "Yes World I Am Alive" She Would Hear Those Younger Then She Say... "I Cannot Wait To Grow Up." The Young Woman Would Smile And Think "Why? What Is The Hurry? Childhood Is Not A Race, It Is A Journey" Self Destruction Had Taken Mine...

Deep Down Her Spirit Would Say... "You Have Earned Your Wings Now Is It Is Your Turn To Fly..."

There Is A Woman Now Of Thirty Conquering The World... A Lifetime Of Wisdom She Has Been Given. She Reflects On That Girl Of Ten... See You Made It She Thinks To Herself ...You Are Worthy...

Deep Down Her Spirit Would Say... "You Always Had It In You See... You Are Finally Free."
