Can you feel it?
I am sure you can
The one you hold
closest to your heart
so close in fact,
she once lay beneath it--
--is shifting with the current
of her future,
rising on the beam
of her tomorrows.
You are loathe to give her up,
yield the anchor that has kept her
safely moored in the range
that you command.
But, breathe deeply
and remember the layers of
preparation, of care,
of trust, and self-esteem
that she now carries with her
always, thanks to you.
Her life stretches before her
a fertile wonderland
rife with experiences
for the having,
wrapped in enduring
phrases of your
love ...
