Vision

I went to the doctor one day
And the nurse looked at me strangely

“You have really good eyesight,”
She said

And I know now that I do

I can look into my future, 
So near,
So bright,
Beckoning and beautiful

But I can also see my past
Full of adventure and joy
Growth and knowledge
Kindness and love

Love has molded me
Into the passionate young woman
I am today
Love has defined my childhood
And it will define my adulthood
(Which, technically,
Started yesterday)

Finally,
I can see the present,
And, despite its challenges,
Find the good

So yes,
My head is stuffed with dreams
My heart is full of gratitude
And my vision is crystal clear
