Grace

She walks in confidence and
With Grace
Guided by mentors, guided by faith
Because she has trusted
She has come a long way
Coming to know,
Where she's strong
Where she's weak
Learning to let
Her inner self speak
She's not yet arrived
To what will be her place
There are more miles to run
In this “growing up” race
But run then she will
In confidence and
With Grace.
