As You Start Your Journey

As you start your journey in becoming a woman
I can only hope and pray that you are safe
for you are smart, witty, strong, and most of all you are brave

A big world awaits you to embrace
the knowledge that you have taken from
the years of schooling and learning will guide you
Take it all in for it is never too late to learn so much more

There will be obstacles to face and bumps
on the road but a bright future is out there
so keep an open mind and savor every moment
for along the way there will many things to taste

Don't think that a moment is wasted for it is not,
don't think of regrets or things that might have
been for every corner has a new adventure

There is a lot to do and many years
are to come and it is one step at a time

Jump in with both feet or test the waters first
however you choose it will always be right
Be strong and stand tough for every day that
seems rough there will be another that will be soft

Your journey to success started the day
you were born and from that you learned
how to crawl, walk and run so today is the
day that you will take all your successes to the next level

You will learn how to climb the tallest of all
mountains and be able to soar over the world
For your passage is sure to come and will be
here before you know
