Confidence with each step
Head held high
Shoulders straight, eyes forward
Four years in age
With a soul wise beyond her years
Freedom, joy, inquisitiveness
A sharp mind, fierce spirit
A star shining bright
Through the sun-soaked sky
To have but an ounce
Of such confidence and knowing
As middle age nears,
Would clear a vision clouded by second-guessing
Awake, worn soul
Guided by the child within
Move forward with your head held high
And confidence in each of your steps.
