THAT BEING SAID, MY THOUGHTS ARE RACING BACK TO THE DAY SHE WAS BORN. WHERE HAS ALL THE TIME GONE? WHEN DID SHE GROW-UP SO FAST? IS SHE READY FOR THE BIG WORLD FACING HER? DID I DO MY BEST AT RAISING HER? THESE QUESTIONS GO ON & ON.
HERE IS A POEM THAT I FOUND MANY YEARS AGO THAT SAY MOST OF WHAT I AM FEELING:
MONDAY THE BABY LEARNED HOW TO WALK
MONDAY THE BABY LEARNED WHO TO WALK.
TUESDAY TEH BABY LEARNED HOW TO TALK.
WEDNESDAY SHE LEARNED TO WRITE HER NAME,
TO KNIT A SWEATER AND BUILD A FRAME.
THURSDAY SHE LEARNED TO READ A BOOK,
TO USE A COMPUTER, TO SHOP AND COOK.
FRIDAY SHE LEARNED TO PLUG A LEAK,
TO TRANSLATE RUSSIAN INTO GREEK.
SATURDAY SHE LEARNED TO FIX A TIRE,
TO DRIVE A BUS, TO SING IN CHOIR,
TO STAGE A PLAY,TO PLAY THE LYRE. SUNDAY THE BABY PLANS TO RETIRE.
