As I stand before the world,
waiting to be accepted into adulthood,
I reflect on my past.
I travel back in time,
remembering important dates and times.
I look at a young girl-
she has anger in her eyes.
She faces life’s challenges alone-
holding her head high she deals.
Then within the comfort of her room she cries,
then picks up the phone to call her lifeline.
On the other end of the phone is her best friend,
super hero and Father.
She tells him all about her pain,
he gives her coping skills.
As time goes by she grows strong,
not facing life alone anymore.
Her Fathers always there,
just a phone call away.
In the end she had but one soul to count on,
her loving and devoted Father.
Although her Mother birthed her,
their bond died within days of the girl’s life.
“So, have I made it?”
I ask the world.
“Yes, because it takes a strong person to face life’s challenges,
and a stronger one to do it alone!”
