She Walks

She Walks

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

She Walks

 

She walks along the way,

Having her own say.

Doing everything she needs,

Her desires are released.

 

She has no worries,

And is truly free.

At her pardon,

She walks through her garden.

 

She stays the course,

Even when things become worse.

For she knows her worth

Even when her plans don’t work.

 

She lives out her hopes

In a way to cope.

Though she tires,

She walks through the fire.

 

She skips along

To her song,

Tuned to her dream
Of all she wants to be.

 

She hears her desires loud and clear

And gives no place to fear.

Playing out her unreachable goals,

She walks on her own.

 

She dreams beneath closed eyelids

Of all she wants to cherish.

In her dreams, she stands tall…

Where she walks.

Thank you for your words.
A sad write for me, when all you have is a dream while you cope with reality. Tough task for dreams/goals are just something to strive for but always out of reach.

And gives no place to fear.

She walks on her own."

Thank you for your words.
Wonderful . . . "She stays the course even when things become worse," is something difficult to live by. Many times we are thrown off balance by bad events that ccur to us.
"She skips along to her song, tuned to her dream of all she wants to be" is a stanza that brought a smile to my face. It paints an image of freedom.

Thanks for sharing Melinda . . . glad to have read this :)

Melinda, I know you have many challenges in your short life...more than most people have in a lifetime. Your strong faith is something I admire. I was ill a lot in my life, had seizures 10 years...was prayed for by a 3 year old and finally God healed me. Never give up the faith Sweetie. Valentine
