Only Nikki
As she packed her things
the tears started to flow
she couldn't believe the day had come
and she wasn't ready to go
She has always had the support
only her family could bring
But she knew she was to old
to continue to cling
So she gathered up her strength
and headed to the door
She wasn't so sure
she wanted to go to college anymore
So we reasured her,
told her she would be ok,
and if she was to do this
today would be the day
We would always be here for her,
she will always have a home
But it was time for her to learn
to stand on her own
We stood and watched her, as she pulled
away, knowing we would see her
Friday, her college is only forty minutes away.
