Growing Pains

There are times when she wished
Her heart was fuller than it is
And there are times when the wish comes true
And many a time in the nights
She asked God whether she was worthy of His givings

And then there are times
When she goes through to many broken promises
That makes her ache in places
She didn’t know she had inside of her
And she gives away more than she can
To make up for the losses that shouldn’t be

And then, with her own will, in her own time, she will realize
That a full heart is not always resistant
And that aches inside of her are only growing pains
That will happen perpetually
And an escape from it is impossible
