O my Little Princess
I couldn’t Sleep All Night
Tossing & Turning..Looking at your Angelic Face
Thinking if the time was Right
And As you take your First Steps towards that School Gate
I feel Something in my Heart is Sinking
You are all Delighted, proud of being a big girl today
But my Discomfort, You too are Sensing…
Running, You come Back to Me
to give me a Hug, my Sunshine
That Twinkle in your Eyes tells me
“Mamma I’ll be just Fine…”
There you go running back to the school
Excited to make new Friends and Explore new things
I am as excited too…
But as the gate closes and my Eyes can’t see You
I am restless again and the stupid Tears roll by
Your Father holds my hand and says,“She can manage”
“I know, I know she can…but can I?”
These aren’t the tears of joy I would say, nor of sadness or emptiness…
they are of mixed Feelings..feelings beyond words, that a Mother is made of…..
“My eyes can’t wait for the noon….”
O God!! Why do Little Girls grow up too very soon…
Awwww! I hope mine takes a little more time….not yet ready. :(
