Graduation

I first welcomed you at birth’s glad hour,
Long hours and months of waiting, through.

I looked into your precious little face,
Saying, “Oh, it’s you. It’s you.”
We’re Crossing to another part of life.

The years have passed, and I’ve practiced letting go;
I knew it was part of God’s plan.

I delighted to walk beside a little boy;
I bid safe journey to a man.

You’re crossing to another part of life
