Ode to Bridget

She made her way North
Left Florida behind
Although she misses the sunshine
The introspective gray skies of Ohio are fine

Her life is on track now
Working her way back down
To the root of what makes us all tick
But the road to nirvana is never quick

With a heart full of emotion
Ambition set changes in motion
Goals, aspirations of a higher degree
Pushing forward to what she knows she can be

A hope of the future, a shrug to the past
Presently shining in the role she's been cast
There's no denying the peace of mind to come
From trying her best to be number one

Eyes that twinkle like starlight
A smile that makes things alright
A mature woman emerges from a girl.
Through the clouds of Ohio,
the sun is shining in Bridget's world.
