CAMELOT FANTASIES

Elation of excitement ran through her to her toes
She kept pinching her leg, still unbelievable
Her hands shook as she opened the letter
She handed it to her mother to read to make it believable
Shaking spread from the core of her belly
Her mother stopped to look at her incredulously
Happy and fearful, knowing the unknown her life would be better
She studied for years overcoming obstacles and foes
Time was on her side
Still it was continually ticking
Looking forward to the day
She’d be walking across the stage, in a smooth glide
Composed and strength in accepting her award

She is the first in her family to complete high school
A great gesture, a tremendous feat
