About the Poem
I wrote this poem in 1986 because I couldn't find a high school graduation card that said exactly how I felt about my daughter.
First Times |
| by A. Mother |
| It seems like only yesterday I watched you leave for school For the very first time. Now it is twelve short years later And I'm watching a young woman, Ready to challenge life for the first time. In a few short weeks You'll be going off to college And it will be another first time. Life is made up of many first times. The first time you ride a bike, The first time you fall in love, The first time you see your baby's face And the first time you realize your little girl Has become a young woman Of whom you can be extremely proud. I love you and wish for you a life of many exciting first times. Seize them all and enjoy your future. |
