A Girl Of Fifteen Poem by Toni Atchison
A Girl Of Fifteen
(for Ais Jaime)
oh, to be young again
as a girl child of fifteen!
Poised grandly on the brink of discovery
between worlds without and within.
To have the universe at your feet,
a future of uncertain delights.
Some tears, some laughs.
The times good or bad-
no gray areas to color life.
Thoughts of love and future as yet unmet,
but one thing's to be sure.
To be a young woman at fifteen
is to be queen of your share of the world.

This is so true Toni. I really love the sweet tone of your words, and the last two lines I think sums up what it is like to be a girl of fifteen. 'To be a young woman at fifteen is to be queen of your share of the world.' People online always ask me how old am I, and I just say my age followed by going on fourteen. Give me those days again. Even in today's time, being a teen may not be all pink and cheerful, but it is still the best time of a girl's life. I give a perfect 10 for this, Toni, and always WRITE ON! ! ! ! !
