A dear friend…whom I’ve yet to meet, someday…beautifully expresses what many moms feel as their children venture forth to find themselves. It’s difficult to let go…but do so…we must.

Plans
and so many dreams
I have for you, sweetheart
your road is paved
with solid bricks
in graceful patters
quick, but with imagination
relaxed, yet with passion
and always forward
~
The road you follow now
has too many curves
to my liking
twists
sideways
even dead ends
but tastes differ
you sense life
and feel it your way
~
I let go of your hand
wave and smile at you
and watch while you take
a different path
with head held high
a byway
that in time
will surely become
your highway
~
