My Pretty Girl – Writing on the Wall

Pretty girl, your mind’s a mess,
But temporarily I do assess
You’re very smart and very sweet,
Your heart so tender with every beat
So take a minute and look around,
Block it out and hear the sound
Listen carefully I do beg you,
For what you’ll hear is simple and true
You’ll hear your heart and then your mind,
These two together powerfully combined
And listen quietly and carefully too,
But most importantly, believe in you
And as you listen and answers aren’t clear,
Rest easily; do not fear
For with the answers that are most unclear,
We grow the most with every year
And if all the answers you could see,
How boring now, life would be
And yes, at times, at this crazy pace,
We want to fold as we suffocate
But unlike others who lose the race,
Those like us will set the pace
So laugh too loud; dream too much,Â
And know it’s ok to be in a funk
Don’t walk a straight line, and when you get the chance,
Love and love again and always choose to dance
Hope for the best; try and try again,
Prepare for the worst; know when to say when
So take a step back; breathe in deep,
Go ahead- take time to weep
And do not create your own war,
And most importantly know who you are
For we’re most important in our lives,
For without us we do not survive
So go forward now; believe in the past,
But don’t long for it or even look back
For it is beautiful as life unfolds,
And our own story is gently told
So everyday when you wake,
Know to learn from your own mistakes
And in turn for you own sake,
The mistakes I’ve made, do not make
And remember in life- It is what it is,
The writing’s on the all… we need to read it…
