Ready to walk out that door
She always had this in store
Moment now is arriving
Growing, learning and thriving
Put her needs above your own
Preparing now to leave home
Eager for what’s next she peers
Gravity of moments dear
If you did the right things
Pondering now this pain sings
Done without you nonetheless
Not for you to repossess
Maybe not all that you could
And by far not all you would
No matter now, moment’s here
Sweet reflection on those years
This child you never owned
This moment you did postpone
Nature moves so now you see
Propels yearning to be free
Tears also of gratitude
Marvel at her attitude
Guide this precious life for years
Tremor in the moment here
She’s got this, it’s evident
Treasured she is confident
Your time done? That’s just a myth.
What you’ve taught, she’ll take with.
Carry with her through her life
Her spectacle will be rife
Feelings surge like the ocean
Rolling swells of emotion
Softly strikes you to the core
Crashing as it hits the shore
Shining now like a sun
So proud how she has become
Happy those tears now flow
Oh drama of letting go
