MY HAPPY PRINCESS
I sit as I watch my daughter of 26 primp up and flash out the door
And she leaves and she leaves and she leaves
How I long for her to stay with me and watch movies
How I long for her to want to stay home and just talk
And do nothing but ask how my day went
How I long for her pace to slow as slow as my pace
Just to keep me company as my day slows just to me and my walls
But she has a life to live that doesn’t include me anymore
And I know it’s a happy good life with a good mate
So instead I will sit and I will watch my happy princess
As she leaves and leaves and leaves
And my heart swells with happiness
Because this is what I wished for
So long ago
Hmmm…I can relate to those bittersweet feelings. It is hard to watch our babies become women…but it is a beautiful sight! I was smiling while I read this! Thank you for this poem
