To My Daughter Who Is About To Graduate

flesh and blood
of my own
yet unique
beautiful
in all your own ways

it seems you've always
existed
giving, loving, being

is it possible
that all that
is you
your skin, bones
eyes and smile
were born of
messy love
bodily fluids
from two people
learning how to love
longing to trust
seeking to fill
and be filled?

yet here you are
strong
passionate
creating yourself
writing a story
from the
broken phrases
run-on sentences
and grace notes
or our lives

you fly
Beloved One
Creation of My Womb
Symbol of Our Best

Fly
create
challenge
dance

to the song
within you.
