Someone is pulling at my heart.
It twinges now and then and I have to pause
And think about why.
What twists my heart about
with chaos and simplicity?
What causes it to surge with joy
plummet with fear
and flicker in sorrow?
Who knew that someone
would have such impact over me
and my life, and my emotions?
Why did no one warn me
that I would lose all control
and semblance of balance?
What happened between then and now?
Did I give up so much of myself,
or gain wonders and worlds to myself?
My heart is pounding,
I'm excited and scared and proud.
Who knew? Who knew that a little girl
going to kindergarten could do all this to me?
Carry on, baby girl. Keep going,
Keep growing, keep my heart beating.
