And I step off into the 
Dry and heat-scorched air 

I am terrified
New, exciting things to come 
I can hardly wait 

I show my face now 
Weave the threads of a future 
Seldom imagined 

New friendships abound
I've found my second home here
One where I can rest

Life is going well
Now suddenly it isn't
Pain without reason 

Panic in waking 
Effort I cannot drum up 
Solace in sleeping 

Trials come and go 
But love is unwavering 
I emerge stronger 

I fear the future 
And the fate of all my dreams 
I still carry on 

The world has proven 
What is meant to be will come 
It is good again 

I no longer fear 
I intend to live my life 
As my God intends 

Grander things await 
Opportunity and goals 
Always within reach 

I will never forget 
The mentors and the good friends 
Who taught joy in life]]> 2019-05-21 15:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/heisermg/4hg0fgenbu8y/wish/362192968 heisermg https://padlet.com/heisermg/4hg0fgenbu8y/wish/362195180 Genuine takes the time to kiss each of her dogs' foreheads before she leaves for school.
