A Day to Remember

Emotional

It had to come

the day I had dreaded for so long

I helped you pack your bag

you were leaving

my heart was bleeding.

 

Trying to hide my tears,

you looked so very beautiful standing there

there were tears in your eyes too

but you were being brave.

 

How the years had flown by

it seemed like only yesterday

I first held you in my arms

kissed you tenderly

fell in love with you still am, always will be.

 

Your fragrance enraptured me, captured me

held me in your spell

you are divine.

 

And now you are leaving me

alone, desolate

walking away into strange new worlds

to places never dreamed

making new friends

 

You looked back as you walked away

I saw the tears fall from your eyes

I hoped you didn't see mine

it broke my heart to say goodbye

 

 

 

On this, your very first day of school.

This is so beautiful. A parents love for their child...more wonderful then any other love out there. I can only imagine (I don't have any children). This is wonderful.

it's amazing how quickly they grow up, go to school, fall in love. Beautiful poem.

lessons in the hard rock school of life, life is so full of lessons, some beg to remembered even when they are so painful. This brings back a memory to me, a very hard hard hard lesson, that obviously I still haven't learned from, I still suck at goodbye.
