Knock, Knock

Mom. 
I missed my bus. 
I am going to be late. 
Class will start without me. 
They will be mad..
at me. 

Mom.
Are you up yet?
It is only a few minutes passed...
Yet my world is crumbling
as if it were high noon---
and the crowd is gathering,
to watch.

Mom.
I did everything you said. 
I set the alarm. 
I went to bed. 
Really. 
I know I was up...
in the middle of the night, 
but it could not be helped.
I am young,
and have so much...
too much,
on my mind. 

Mom. 
Can you hear me? 
I am calling your name. 
Not for the first time, 
never for the last...

You remember her running to find the beach
And when an adventure was eating a peach
And nothing she wanted was out of reach

You remember her terrified of anything new
So fragile and brave the first day of school
Then proudly parading the picture she drew

You remember the first Halloween she created
That goulish green dress, and the glitter she raided!
You found it today, in a box, old and faded

You remember so much - her first Christmas play,
Her first slumber party, her first grounded day
You see the years, like a thief, slowly stole her away

She'll run now alone to her life, and choose
Her own path to what she will find, and lose
This is her stage, her spotlight, her bow
Love her forever, let her go now.
