Poetry - The Parting

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

A poem about a child's growth and how sad it can be.



Source


Like the wind you were gone

How much time has passed

To see you play again, your smile

All the wishes I cannot have




As you would run down the hall

Your curly hair wildly bouncing

Your first dance, your fall

These little things I hold on to




How selfhood begins with a walking away

Watching you grow, my worst parting

And as a winged seed would,

you loosened from the "parent" stem
