The Lost Girl

Lauren Phillips-Freeman

--

I thought I’d lost you,
That tenacious young girl,
So steadfast and determined,
Who set out to achieve something
And made sure she succeeded,
Who refused to be cowed
By other people’s opinions,
Ignored the doubters and the naysayers
And followed her own path,
Utterly certain of her own abilities.
