Daughters of My Neighborhood

What happened to the little girls that used to play with me. I awaken this Day, and they have chosen to marry the man their hearts now belong to.  Independent, proud, and capable, no longer needing me for support, only love and kindness. They have intelligence, the ability to adapt to change. They have beauty,  being in harmony with who they are. What I wish for them, is for the rest of their lives together, those daughters of my neighborhood, can feel kindness, loving each other more than deserved, even when the mistakes of humanity intrude.
