Teenager

Story by Jill Andrews

Standing on the edge of tomorrow
Holding her childhood wonder
She gazes into her future
She knows

Poised on the edge of forever
Her eyes take in truth
She speaks with confidence and clarity
She knows

Heiress to tomorrow
Her aspirations, her dreams
Arise from the now
She knows

We who came before
We who once traveled her path
See in her eyes
Our own youthful traits

Bold curiosity
Innocent hope
Boundless imagination
Strong-willed tenacity

We recognize
We remember
But she is a teenager
She knows
