Thoughts Through Tears

G raduation means you’re  ready and going away.

R eally, I would much rather that you choose to stay.

A ll eighteen years have skipped by me so fast.

D o you remember the times I treasure from the past?

U are beautiful, accomplished and amazingly wise…

A s you walk, this thought dawned on me with such surprise.

T hough you’re clearly equipped, I fear I’m not prepared.

I know, from a breaking heart, I will not be spared.

O n you march anyway, like your sister before.

N ew people, new places… new tears on the floor
