us, last night

my girl, the one i mentor
click here to check out her new blog:)

i sat at table with four teens
last night
(a walt-whitman-miracle)
the olders reminiscing middle school
while i busied myself with not
worrying
their futures frayed
before they even embark
and
one guest was my girl, the one i mentor,
a college student
wise with words
and
beautiful to the core
i still can't answer all her questions
i still can't advise her every move
but
i can listen and understand
and
marvel at her
jesus-strength

continuing to count his gifts to 1000-
