My Niece.

You are a beutifull girl this you know ready for life and ready to grow. But then your days darkened on a bright afternoon. You took the plunge into a form of depression that would, forever change you. You walked the path of  needles and destruction as some teenagers do, not knowing what your future will hold in your times of need, this is true. You tried so hard to please but could never rise above, Three times you did try only  to be knocked down with a thud. You came to me  so brittle and weak, so loss of color, that made it complete. You fought the pain,  that racked your body in the proccess of healing in time. For now you are a seed that has sprouted above, the dark depths you knew that have been left in the past. You have learnt to bloom like an orchid, and your future is yours to take, I am proud of you my niece So please don't hesitate.
