Thinking of the way back than,
being a girl - 17 years old - again.
So much not knowing, but inside yet growing.
A life of fun and less sorrow,
not worrying for the things of tomorrow.
She is now a woman, 20 years older
with much more lugage on her shoulder.
But inside still growing, also not knowing.
So much learning about herself,
and coming - endlessly - out of her shell.
