COMING OF AGE

What is it for girls coming of age

Could it be captured on a single page?

The instinctual wisdom of a grand old sage

Held in a pubescent cage

A metamorphic body calmly riding with certainty

The vicissitudes of life with dignity

Learning gracious lessons of humility

Growing in assurity

And adding to innate intelligency

That’s a far cry for numeracy

Riding emotional waves with presidency

As she takes up her earthly residency

Whilst finding inner-peace in life

Amidst outer chaos and war-torn strife

Nothing like her has ever been before

No tale, No myth, No folklore

She’s here to open another door

Continue striding in love once more

Knowing all is perfect and there are no flaws

She’s simply a part of universal law

Who’s coming of age is to be adored.
