I have the blueprints
Right here before me
I will share what I know
Story by story
Your foundation was laid
In a legacy of faith
With a loving mother
That paved the way
The ground level represents
Your early years of expressing yourself
“It’s Mine!” and “I Need It!”
Is what you’d implore
The first few floors after that
I’ll label elementary
Where you exceeded without even trying
In establishing your own identity
Those mid-floors – the teen years
Is when you blossomed into
A complex young woman
Who always knew what she wanted to do
The top floor – adulthood
You finally arrived
Eighteen and born again
Running for your life
Jobs and apartments
The school of hard knocks and college
Determination to build
And a thirst for knowledge
Today ~ the Penthouse!
And here you are
Mentor, Author
And Entrepreneur!
