Growth
February 6, 2010
It grew like
the leaves of a tree in the heat of summer.
It grew like
the wild flower, sprung throughout the wide open fields.
It grew beyond expectations.
For what it should have been.
The friendship of four fifteen year old girls.
The love was common then.

Sid,
It's powerful. I especially love the last line. I also love the photo next to it! How appropriate. I think you have an instinctive ability to put what you feel on paper. You are able to do this easily. Keep publishing! I am so proud of you!
