Anyway, the point of my posting today is I have this hanging in one of my bedrooms:
The Woman You'll Be Someday
I see an old woman rocking there. The sun shining softly on her silver hair. I wonder the secrets she holds deep inside, is she smiling or hiding a tear in her eye? She watches our day as her story unfolds, for you see, she is you, grown old. And with every decision you make today, you're creating the woman you'll be someday. Just for now the old woman depends on you, she waits and she watches as you make her dreams come true. Be kind to the woman waiting there. For time passes swiftly and you must prepare. Hold fast to the values more precious than gold. And you'll bless the old woman who waits down the road. She watches our day as her story unfolds, for you see, she is you, grown old. Only you have the power to make her whole, only you can decide her eternal role. Just for now the old woman depends on you. She waits and she watches as you make her dreams come true. Be watchful young woman, choose well today. Remember to live for the woman you'll be someday.
I know I got this at some point in Young Women's, I read it at the time then tucked it away- And it was forgotten for a time, I really didn't think about it much until I found it when I was unpacking boxes where I live now. There were a few years in my life that I struggled with making good choices and not being the best person I could be. Looking back, I guess there was a reason for me to make the choices I made so I can be the person I am today. I am by far not perfect, nor is my hair gray(....yet haha) but I hope when that time comes, I can look back fondly and continue to be grateful for the trials I once had and how I learned from them and I will continue to make good choices and when I have children, teach them to make good choices.
That's all for now.
