(Older angel teaching younger angel)

the stumbling blocks
she stumbles on
her way to catch her dream

make for frustrating
attempts
see, she wipes away the steam

that rises from her prized possession-
Passion for her art
surprised by Epiphany, (heard me)
gives new, needed start

to rise again, she shifts her eyes
from hands that work too hard
she will one day come to see
that this all plays a part

that those bothersome stumbles
will give way, eventually
she will rise above the troubles
to find they filled a need

her life will teach her
what is real
then, no longer stumbling
blocks will block, they'll do their ought
and help the girl who's running

into herself, but she's OK
I promise, not to worry
she will arrive safely
wondering then, "why did I worry?"

Promise.
