For my post tomorrow for Sunday Scribblings about "wings" and for my Poetry Thursday entry, here is an ode to my daughter who is graduating in a month and on her way to college in Oregon. I'm proud of her sense of adventure and loyalty to her dreams.
Freedom Wings, Freedom Flights
Today is your graduation day
And I have for you
A simple pair of wings.
These wings represent freedom
For they are most sacred
And vital
For dragonflies, angels, dreamers
To move along on their journeys
And to soar!
Take care, my cherished aviator,
Enjoy your flight
And may your journey
Bring you adventure,
Peace,
And a learning of yourself
May the rains be light,
And may you get a chance
To behold all the beauty of this world.
Don’t forget to stop home
To refuel, to record your journeys
And to compose new flight plans.
omg...so beautiful!
The words make me tear up.
A perfect take on "wings" and a perfect tribute to your daughter beginning this stage of her life!

Congratulations to your daughter! I can't think of a more fitting tribute or a more beautiful expression of a mother's love.

"Don’t forget to stop home
To refuel, to record your journeys
And to compose new flight plans."
I love that part. Home is indeed a great place to develop your flight plan.

A wonderful, freeing send-off for a parent to offer a child.
