A new her
Today she planted a seed
A little seed inside her
She showers it with hopes and dreams
Thoughts of imagination that somewhat spark
Ideas of purpose and new being
She looked in the mirror
Her hair combed straight down, cleansed face with no jewels to be seen
It was just her looking back at me
Tears flowed from her face
But they were not tears of sorrow but tears of rebirth.
A joy of a new tomorrow
A renewal and cleanse of the person she was
She promised me and to above that she is going to be different-
She said some more words that I have always heard but
This time it was new
She said them again and with a tear to seal the fate
She puts up her hair adds the jewels
Unlocks the cage and lets the prisoner out so that they may attend to the see.
And this day forward she knows that her and the seed are the only goals.
