Losing "My Little Girl"

Written Works Collection: Poetry

My little girl is now five feet, six inches tall
I remember when she was small
Where did the time go?
Now, I slowly have to let go, for she is all grown
Winnie the Pooh, “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss, Barbie and Brat dolls,
for a time, was all she knew
Choir, drama, art, fashion and boys are her new passions
Mature beyond her years, she is a natural leader
At times she graces me with long talks and
gives me a hug and jokingly says I am “old”
It won’t be long before high school is a cherished memory
and she will be on another journey
To live her life as she wants it to be, while furthering
her education at a well known University
I remember when… is all I can say
I look forward to her graduation, new career, marriage and
 best of all, having grandchildren
