Alone I stood, looking onto the horizon <br />when she came to me. <br />I looked down at her, <br />the face of innocence in her eyes; <br />a little girl lost and afraid. <br />'Which way do I go? ' she asked quietly. <br />I hesitated for a moment, <br />then slowly something crept into my mind; <br />a simple sentence surfaced, <br />and I knew I was to tell it to her. <br />'Follow your heart, and you'll know the way.' <br />She looked up at me, a smile on her lips, <br />and then she hugged me. <br />Alone I stood, looking to the horizon; <br />her spirit weaved into mine, <br />showing me that I hadn't answered her question, <br />but had answered my own.<br /><br />Deana Rode<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2002-realization/
