“A Story about a Girl Born in May”

Now, here’s a story about a little girl, they thought she was a mute.

Though she’s very much aware.

Open eyes, a wide smile is what she gave.

Helping hands; good manners; she was well behaved.

You see she grew up in a world where she seen a bunch of don’ts.

She turned some don’ts to not -do’s. Now, her will to stop; she won’t.

Stubborn, is the label that they gave her.

But if you stare long enough you could break her.

Though, she did have a serious look about her.

Half her mom and half her dad, she was no coward.

With Three brothers in her corner, she was well protected.

Who knew she will grow up being so protective?

She came in this world already with 3 titles: the only child; only girl; the youngest one… she was spoiled.

Flying on her own was her biggest struggle.

Self-image and her mom were her biggest Tuggle.

She still stares in the mirror asking God why he made her.

Cause her frame is small and legs thin as paper.

She ate a lot, but still couldn’t get her weight up.

They called her Skinny Minnie and Olive Oil; they thought she threw up.

Remembering once when her mom told her…

“Baby God will give you something less here to give you more somewhere else”…

Realizing that knowledge is the key.

She read; fed her brain; she built mentally.

A woman of wisdom is who she asked GOD to be.

But who knew that this prayer came with a fee?

Full of emotional turmoil and mental storms.

Like Jonah, she was at sea stuck in a beast.

Over -standing that life can be hard.

With her guard up she had to pick it apart.

For Shadowboxing with her demons is what made her stronger.

Mind meditating and YAHWEH’s word; Is what fed her hunger.

She Bloomed Like a rose from concrete or like a lotus from the mud.

10 toes down! She never gave up!

Even though she felt alone; She was her own zone.

A precious gem, that can be found surrounded by stones.

And when she was born the earth trembled.

Her father then knew, that God has sent him an EMERALD!
