Leah...
Emerging from her shyness
One step forward
Three steps back
Once bullied in so many ways
She’ll not be
Going back
Her fortress once
Within the mind
Has drifted
Out to sea
Enabling her to show the world
All that she can be
Somewhat like a butterfly
Emerging from its
Pre-birth form
Shaking out
Its fragile wings
As if it were the norm
A hesitant step
Towards confidence
Another two
Then three
Smiling now with sheer delight
At all that she can see
Her mannerism, poise and prose
Magnetic
Yes indeed
A gentle soul
A true rare gem
Of the Christian breed
A writer, a poet
A worthy friend to claim
A butterfly who’s grown in strength
Leah be her name.
