The Girl in Me by toogie (polished re-post)
This is a polished re-post.
I am compiling some of my poems for some friends and I wanted to include this poem. I polished it up a bit. Editing for me is always a work in progress. I rarely ever read one of my old poems and not want to make some changes in wording to make it read smoother. That's what I did with this one.
Background story: I posted the first picture as just a picture and I experienced such a sense of deja vu that I searched my photos for the second picture. Many years happened between the photos and I decided to express what the photos made me feel - hence the poem. I still make the same faces, lol.
I don't re-post often so forgive me for doing so today. I won't put it in any groups since it's a re-post.
There is a song that I used to love and still do ....
Have a beautiful day!
The Girl in Me
by toogie
Though many years have passed
And I’ve gotten kind of old
There’s a younger girl in me
And she’s growing rather bold.
She’s a know-it-all gal
Who is indestructible.
She laughs too often and too loud
She’s quite insatiable.
I quiet her with calmness
And mature serenity
But to be completely honest
I like the hold she has on me.
She reminds me of the past
Of the girl I used to be
Full of time and optimism
And of boundless energy.
She often opens up my eyes
To the beauty of each day
She helps me feel some sunshine
As I go along my way.
And when I’m sad and hopeless
Tired by the end of day
I close my eyes, she whispers
Tells me I will be okay.
