I am the girl of two worlds,

My heart belongs to here and there,

Two worlds profoundly different,

United in my highest regard.

Do I live in or between these two worlds?

I am the girl of two worlds.

 

My heart is here when

BAM! Disaster strikes there.

Someone needs me, or so I tell myself.

My heart yearns to be there.

My body lives on here.

I am the girl of two worlds.

  

My roots, my family, my home are there.

My passion, my church, my purpose are here.

Here is where I am called.

There is from where I am sent.

There made me. Here drew me.

I am the girl of two worlds.

 

My heart is here and there,

Divided, not broken.

Some days my body is here whilst my body is there.

Soon, too soon, yet not soon enough

My body will be there whilst my heart remains here.

I am the girl of two worlds.
