Yet another poem for my daughter for graduation...Seems my feelings and emotions are right to the surface all the time. I shall miss her gentleness, loving ways, fun and celebration of life always. Many times I admire her life, and she becomes my mentor. :)

My Sailor – Kelci
(for your graduation)
By Marie Wallace
*
Pearly capped waves
Move in and out to sea
Just like the surf
That swells inside of me
She’s leaving on a ship
Sailing far out to sea
My compass, my anchor,
Ripped away from me
This little sailor
Has much to explore
Her voyage from home
Can’t wait anymore.
Bon voyage my little one
Be happy and safe on your own
Remember when the course gets rough
True north is always home.
True north is always home - that's such a love message for a child. Your whole poem is a gift...

Thank you Pauline...just I feel your words are wings and freedom!
Good luck finishing your year...and may you get all the important things done. (Our true work is never done.)
