Shahana Jackson Poet I do not know?

Growing Up

I'm growing up mommy and now here I am smiling down on you, I want to know if you can 
handle it. Handle that i'm not a little girl anymore, I am still your little girl but in 
reality I am getting old. I won't be here forever so don't take offense when I tell you 
that some day I will have to move on we might hardly see each other like you said. I will 
miss you, I will call you, and no matter how far away from me you are I will visit when I 
want to. Your my mommy and no matter what we will never lose touch, A day won't go by 
where I won't be thinking about all you've done. I'm college bound in just 2 more years 
and I promised daddy I would do it and here I am. I'm ready to become what I've been 
dreaming of for so long and when I head for the stars you won't be far. You'll be sitting 
in my dream house, I bought it for you because you said you loved it and whatever you 
desire I will get. I want to take you away from this life, the pain is over and I want to 
make sure it stays gone. So mommy i'm growing up and I just wanted to let you know that 
people compliment me all the time about how much I look like you. That means your doing 
it right, The mother you've been ill keep that in mind as I raise my kids and they will 
cherish the ground you walk on. I will tell them stories of my childhood and how you 
helped. So mommy i'm growing up but just know I will never forget you.
