The Child Grows Up

9-17-92

The 17th of September.

I sit on my bed,

Surrounded by my childhood

friends.

Teddy, Mousey, Kitty.

The best friends.

I think about my life.

I am scared.

The monsters lurk in the dark.

"Mommy, hold me,"

I ask for the courage to go on.

The peace of mind to

Turn out the light,

Step out into the darkness,

Looking for the one

True Light.
