Raising Strong Daughters
Love: Eclipsed for a Time
Each day you are growing, becoming more assured, no more the
Child you once were. No more needing me to guide your way.
Longingly, I watch from afar, proud and wistful,
Imagining the moment you'll turn and hold out your hand to me.
Perhaps? You'll need me at least once more to praise, guide, celebrate?
Surely our time revolving through space, moon and planet together, is still possible.
Eventually, we'll gravitate back together and dance across the sun again with me grateful to be in the shadow.
