for my daughter


Highschool 
can be brutal
I wish you could see 
that these years are such a blip in your overall life
that you are beautiful and strong
and full of dance 
and laughter 
and your heart is big 
enough
to hold it all 
- the love and joy
and pain and struggle and 
messiness of life
even though you think it isn't

Your daughter is a lucky girl - as well as having the big heart you write of in your poem she clearly has the love of a strong mother. Wishing you both all the best.

I am so glad that you communicate with her and seek to see her.

nothing gets to me like my babies hurting.

I do hope they come to me with it always , and that I always know what they need in return.
