Hurdles

I’ve come a long way

Still have miles to go

Crossed over more hurdles than you will ever know

Hurdles disrupted the flow

But I am slowly making through

Becoming someone new

New avenues to pursue

Keeping blinders on, only seeing forward

Trying to keep my life steady and in order

Now I’m more mature and older

Taking time to pat myself on the shoulder

Can’t control people who hate me

For me God has a marquee

To be elevated to what I am supposed to be

Greatness of a higher degree

I will build a legacy for my daughter

Women who are go getters

Trend setters

Heavy hitters

I want her to say

She has crossed over many hurdles than anyone knows

Hurdles didn’t disrupt her flow

She’s slowly making it through

Becoming the woman I knew she would

Being the best she could
