Rhyme TIME

A new light

Inside a turtle’s egg

A turtle is waiting

Waiting to hatch and swim in the ocean

Inside an eaglet

An eagle is waiting

Waiting to soar across the mountaintops

All evolving to a new light

Inside a seed

A plant is waiting

Waiting to grow to the treetops

Inside a bud

A flower is waiting

Waiting to beautifully blossom

All evolving to a new light

Inside a caterpillar

A butterfly is waiting

Waiting to get its wings and fly

Inside a piece of clay

A sculpture is waiting

Waiting to be sculpted

All evolving to a new light

Inside a girl

A young teenager is waiting

Waiting to reach for the mountaintops

That girl is me

I’m evolving to a new light.

Hard to find

A true friend is someone who helps you when you’re in need.

One who is not taken over by pride or greed.

One who is ready to lend you her shoulder.

One who extends her heart to you and stands by you like a boulder.

A friend gives you strength and with her support & courage you move ahead.

By giving you the drive to achieve success.

We find people of different kinds.

But a true friend is difficult to find.

But I am lucky to have one.

As she’s there to help me when there is no one.
