encouragement from a friend

a few years ago, my dear friend Donetta gave me this poem. i appreciate her encouragement. this is my writing journey down to a tee.

She Who Believes in Herself

Trusting her instincts was the hardest thing she ever did.
There was that wimpy little voice inside her,
Cautioning her not to take the risk.
There were times along the way
When she was so scared she almost quit.

But she listened to the whisperings of her heart.

She pushed forth with faith.
Faith in her skills
Faith in her work ethic
And faith in her knowledge that she could succeed.

And she did!
In the end, trusting her heart
Was the smartest thing she ever did!
