The Winds Of Change Poem by Vonda Overlie

As you stand on the bridge of change
You stand, tall, wise, beautiful.

You are gifted in even more ways than you realize my girl.
When did you become this amazing?

As I watched you grow through the years,
I saw tiny glimpses of the young woman you would become.

Strong, brave, opinionated
you held your own.

Envy felt from others,
You stumbled, but continued on.

Faith tested, loves lost,
rejected by ones you thought you could trust

You felt the sting
yet you never believed those fiery arrows.

Continue on my Sweet brave girl
Life will bring many turns

Some torturous
Others beauty.

Mommy will be there at every turn
sitting at the sidelines
watching every step you take

Encouraging and cheering you on.
I love you with every ounce of me.

-Mommy
