Darling Daughter
Reflecting...
The day she
was born
the perfect name?
We were torn
Ribbons
and lace
with an
angel’s face
sugar and spice
and everything nice...
OH REALLY?
Fast forward
threw the "tweens"
right into the
terrible teens!
The make-up
and hair
the fashion
despair
hormones and
mood swings
PMS and other
fun things
the looks and
the attitude
not an ounce
of gratitude
boyfriends
and curfew
doing things
they shouldn’t do
piercings and
tattoos on their bum
revealing clothes
her friends have some
school projects
and finals
my sanity
spirals
dear, oh dear
the Senior year
so full of cheer
graduation pictures
and supplies
watch how the
money flies
Senior skip day
and the alibi’s
Then comes the day
she walks across the stage
when the chaos is done
made it threw the first one...
