They called her Future Girl. It was a joke. It was for fun. But it was even true.
Smart, as she was. Joyous as she was. Knowing as she was.
She still lived in the future. Her dreams, her desires, her goals, were all placed in the Future. She did not live for today, yet for tomorrow.
Strong, Joyous, and Knowing all got beat down. She was down. Down.
But I know her, this Future Girl. She knows better. And she has learned.
She is happy. She is good. She has her goals and her dreams but it has become about each and every day.
She lives for today. She is happy. She is proud. She is good. She is strong.
She is my Real Girl.
Let’s live for today.
