A birthday celebration
Watching the glow come over her
Opening a wished for present
A child becoming a young woman
Fifteen now and stepping into a new era
The child steadily moving into young adulthood
And it begins—
A new set of classes soon to begin
A driver license permit highlight
Secret crushes on classmates
Finding forever friends
New learning challenges while
Realizing future dreams
All decisions made now reflecting on her future
It’s too soon for me, too soon for life challenges for the child I used to cuddle
But I have faith.
