Her heartbeat races;
She stands at the line.
It's a moment of choice,
and right now is the time.
In her uneasy position,
She straddles the line;
The one that divides the
Lives of children and adults.
Many obstacles grow ahead,
And distractions find their place,
But she has sorted out her mind
And she's ready for the race.
It's the race of life,
And now she waits to burst forth;
Set out on her own,
Meeting unknown boundaries.
And as she takes her first step
Into the world of strangers,
She buries her fear and
Prepares to face the dangers.
