GRAF 10

 Person

 Dark brown, almost black hair curling coquettishly around a strikingly beautiful face – a model’s face.  Her slim body rounded in just the right places; her movements graceful.  Yet something is wrong with this picture.  The attire seems out of place – a police uniform.  Is this a model posing as a policewoman, perhaps for a magazine directed toward unusual women’s careers?  She did, after all, take modeling and acting classes as a teenager.  That must be it…  Or is it?

Growing up, this young woman charmed everyone she met, with her cheerful kindness combined with her attractive physique.  Although she was naturally athletic, and had attained the level of black belt in Tae Kwon Do before going off to college, she was also soft and artistic, with a gift for drawing and writing.  Her mother should have seen it coming, though.  She did, after all, choose serial killers for her term paper.  And she did floor the master when she was testing for her black belt.  But what of her other gifts?  What of her artistic and literary talents?  Are they lost forever?  I think not.  “To every thing there is a season…”  Now is her season as a policewoman, and a fine one at that.  Why shouldn’t a gorgeous girl grace a police department somewhere?  In fact, every department should have one on staff.  It might improve office morale as well as community relations.  But that doesn’t mean this is her ultimate destiny.  It may be; but it may be that this is just a season, to be followed by other seasons when her other talents will have opportunity to come to light.  And perhaps then, this model policewoman (or is it policewoman- model), my very own daughter, will use her time on the force as food for her other talents, and who knows where that will lead her next…
