Karen Croft Poet Free verse

Leaving Home

when you walked out the sky even cried
pouring down over me
as i stood on that lonely piece of road
watching the blur of your taillights
you've just wanted to live your life
and i've held you back
now you're headed to the big town
my little girl's all grown up
going out on her own
leaving me at home to watch you on the tube
singing country and blues
becoming a shining star
making something of a young girl form ohio
