THE DAY HER DAUGHTER FLIES

 


She knew this day would one day arrive

just as she knows each morning the sun will rise…


Still she feels its bittersweetness…

as this day delights and terrifies…


Sometimes she can’t stop herself from smiling…

other times…she cries


For today is the day when she can no longer see…

the child in her daughter’s eyes…


But she knows she given her daughter roots and wings

and she knows her daughter is wise


So she proudly stands aside and watches

the day her daughter flies.…
