 I am sixteen going on seventeen,  I know that I'm naive Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet,  and willingly I believe I am sixteen going on seventeen,  innocent as a rose.  I'm getting over being annoyed with people at church calling me cute all the time.  at least I know they don't think I'm ugly!
 I went to noon mass this morning by myself { I was a eucharistic minister.  and Mrs.  Honkomp was there,  and I talked to her for a while.  She was there when I was born.
 seriously.  That church is full of people who have known me since I was born,  and that really is a cool thing.  but sometimes its a little scary too.  I also signed up to cantor at the noon masses.  I'm diving in head first!
 AND I have a meeting with Fr.  Don Thursday night to talk about this scholarship I'm getting from the parish,  and a little bit about the youth group too. groan:  He said that they'll be hiring a new youth minister by January.  JANUARY.
 there will be no point in hiring a youth minister by January,  we won't even HAVE a youth group then.  . sigh:  oh well.  What would this day be like,
 I wonder What will my future be,  I wonder.  It could be so exciting To be out in the world to be free My heart should be wildly rejoicing Oh what's the matter with me I've always longed for adventure To do the things I never dared Now here I am facing adventure Then why am I so scared Captain with seven children.  What so fearsome about that Oh I must stop these doubts all these worries If I don't I just know I'll turn back I must dream of the things I am seeking I am seeking the courage I lack The courage to serve them with reliance Face my mistakes without defiance Show them I'm worthy And while I'll show them. I'll show me. so.
 Let them bring on all their problems I'll do better than my best I have confidence they'll put me to the test But I'll make them see I have confidence in me Somehow I will impress them I will be firm but kind And all those children,  heaven bless them They will look up to me and mind me With each step I am more certain Everything will turn out fine I have confidence the world can all be mine They'll have to agree I have confidence in me I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again Besides which you see I have confidence in me Strength doesn't lie in numbers Strength doesn't lie in wealth Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers When you wake up,  wake up!  It tells me all I trust I leave my heart to All I trust becomes my own I have confidence in confidence alone.  I have confidence in confidence alone!  Besides what you see,
 I have confidence in me.
