And She Grows

And She Grows

A Poem by Barbara Walker
"

I wrote this poem for my granddaughter, Hannah @2015

"
Formerly, a child, who didn't seem to know
that you had a physical beauty that the world values so.
Out of their own insecurities, others put you down
and you took their words into your head and it caused your heart to frown.
Now, I am privileged to watch you come into your own, as you become aware-
You are a person of worth, a young woman of warmth, compassion and care.
One who will guard the underdog and fight,
do whatever it takes when you think you are in the right.
In this big world, not everyone will know who you are or what you've done, but the people who matter will see,
the physical you is pretty,
but the inner Hannah is a person of beauty.

We love them and hope their futures will be bright. Hopefully, a grandparent's wishes carry a lot of weight.
