(A Spiritual Reunion with Self)
Hey girl, where have you been?
I’ve been looking for you for so long,
feeling like I’ve lost my best friend.
I’ve seen you around town;
walking around with your head down,
looking mad; feeling sad;
not realizing & appreciating all the things that you (currently) have.
Hey girl, where have you been?
I’ve been asking about you; hoping & praying
that you’re recognizing the many blessings
GOD has bestowed upon you;
wanting you to open your eyes
to the gifts & talents you hold inside;
saying to myself, I truly hope
that she knows that it takes
a little rain for a flower to grow.
Hey girl, where have you been?
Don’t you know that before new things begin
old things have to end.
I want you to accept that
your life is a book,
made up of different chapters,
each designed to build
& create character.
Hey girl, let me be the first to say,
Welcome Home, accept your crown &
sit graciously on your throne.
Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground
while enduring life’s (constant) ups & downs,
Hey girl, Welcome Home, it’s been far too long that you’ve been gone!
Here you will always be greeted with open arms &
treated with respect & dignity, because when storms come,
home is the best place to be.
