New Shoes for a New Day

I see another glimpse
of the woman You
want to make me.
Give me the strength
and courage to
step into her shoes.
She's beautiful.
She's lovely.
She's soft.
She's strong.
She's kind.
She's wise.

She's me.

33

Your birthday's on
Monday and I've
finally uprooted
you from my heart.
It only took
three
years.
