WELCOME TO GIRL LOST

The road had been winding and the days long; this girl was lost and a long ways from home

She looked all around her to passersby and defeated she sat down and began to cry

There seemed to be no end to this journey she’d began

So many lessons learned so much time spent

Everyone was going at the speed of light

But she could move only so fast, try as she might

She gathered herself together and told herself,

“I'm okay”

For true were her words as plain as day

One step, then two, and soon she’d gone further

And by chance she found herself at a door that looked like no other

She took a breath and bit her lip, tilted her head and said,

 “I should ponder”

But when she opened it, what lay before her was a world full of wonder
