That dawn, oh that dawn is soon approaching <br />The dawn when I shall overcome my adolescent mistakes <br />It will be a day of great triumph, a personal victory <br />The dawn when I shall strut across that stage and mumble 'it's done' <br />This handshake into adulthood signifies a turning point <br />I will have at last have become what my elders dreamed <br />On that dawn, I will become what my past self insisted <br />I will have made it, on that dawn.<br /><br />Victoria Horn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stepping-stones-12/
