To Me (-Nynaeve)

To Me

here lived a child

Quite sometime ago,

She had starry eyes

And dreams to follow.

Finding adventures

In books and tale,

She strove for success

But at times did fail

She hoped for friends

And found a few

But along did come

A couple of foes

She worked for a goal

Life led her to other

Plans went awry

And dreams were a blur.

Lost she stands alone

Wondering all along

She had the right plans

yet what went wrong?

Today when I look back

And see the young me

I wish I could tell her

I am happy as could be

So what if life turned out

So different from our plan?

It was a wonderful journey

The adventure just began.

You made difficult choices

Which you thought were the best

And I have reached quite ahead

So nothing you have messed.

Without you, I would not be

So I should thank you,

And even if they are mere words,

Know that I love you.
