Miscellaneous Free-Verse







    

Life is simple and fun,
and it seems like
you will be a child forever.

Letting You Go

My darling daughter…….it is hard to let you go.

I still see a little girl playing alone in the backyard on a warm summer day.
At the time, you have no idea that Mom and I are watching you.
Music is playing on your tape player and in your hand is a long ribbon
on a coloured stick, that Mom and I gave to you the day before.
As the music plays, you dance and twirl the ribbon about your head,
completely unaware of anything else except the music.
Life is simple and fun, and it seems like you will be a child forever.
But time has moved on and the music has changed, but the dance continues.
You are married now and a whole new dance is set to begin.

Oh, how I miss my little girl!
