Growth by Linda Cleveland

She was a young girl, kinda akward, kinda clumsy too. She was very shy could not say hi. She carried herself like a weeping willow tree not able to hold her head high. She met a new friend who helped her gain confidence, she began to say hi and found herself growing. She fell out of her shell and had such glorious strength, she no longer carried herself like the weeping willow, she glowingly grew into a strong oak tree walking as tall as can be.
