she wears
her heart on her sleeve
she wears her heart on her sleeve
like a note from her mom
safety pinned to her warm, fuzzy sweater
on the
first day of school
apprehensive and shy
she saunters through early days
with a small child’s voice
she wears her heart on her sleeve
like book full of enchanted stories
sitting on a shelf waiting to be desired
exuberant and hopeful
she dances through the
early-days
a young woman’s voice
she wears her heart on her sleeve
like a badge of honor
earned during the turbulent
times
rising above, with confidence and strength
moving through the pain
to embrace inner peace
she rejoices in today
her true voice and heart joined as one
