read between the lines

      

  read between the lines

she’s young

filled with yearnings

inexperienced

eager

determined to achieve her goal

step by step  

nimble fingers

shape and cut the

fabric of dreams

glue and persistence

piece it all together

          delighted because it is what

she had hoped for from the

first scant idea

little girls know no boundaries

don’t always think of difficulties

that may prevent them realizing

their dreams

grown girls often lose their way

drowned out by the voice of reason

the caution of doubt

and fear of failure.
