Biting the tongue has been such a difficult thing for me to learn... hee, hee... It is rewarding, yet hard, to silently sit back and watch our children mature and let go of the apron strings.
Shared like a page from your diary, with an intimate and natural setting. Interesting thoughts on patience.

I love your use of the word "rummage." It is perfectly befitting a mother curious about the goings-on in a maturing child's life. Your wisdom emanates from your lovingly created scene.
Firstly, Dawn,
Congratulations to Emily and Happy Birthday!
What strikes me here is once again how you manage to achieve such tranquility of setting, your poetry breathes calm and understated optimism...quiet truth and knowing.. and here is abundant evidence.
Beautifully written.
Dawn, I can so relate to your poem today..My daughter of 27 came to stay with me this weekend..She said she needed a mommy break..Now tell me where can a mother receive more beauty than from a loving daughter at any age..Congrats to your beautiful daughter at 17, wait more lovely mooments yet to come...
This is so beautiful Dawn, and you convey the relationship at this point in time so truthfully. The barrier seems to vanish just as you embrace it, just as the sun rises.
You are such a wise mother, so graceful. As a mother of a girl almost this age myself, I so often ruin the perfection within such moments. I will try harder, you have inspired me!
Blessings,
Christine
I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT A MOTHER KNOWS HER DAUGHTER EVEN BETTER THAN SHE KNOWS HERSELF...THIS GIFT SHE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND NOR COME TO APPRECIATE...UNTIL SHE HERSELF BECOMES A MOTHER. AND...GRANDMOTHER'S GIVE EXCELLENT ADVICE (AT 66 I CAN GO THERE (SMILE) ). THANKS FOR SHARING, DAWN AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
You have recalled and shared a most special moment very effectively via your verses, Dawn. There is so much that is not "said" but is understood. Thank you. Love and best wishes to both of you,
Regis

What else can you do really? Sounds like patience and wisdom combined for a lovely morning experience.
Watching the sunrise together sounds like a truly magical moment Dawn. I believe that a mother's intuition is a magical thing in itself. "Your eyes tell a secret that your lips have yet to speak," is a beautiful line that displays your patience and trust that all will be revealed in due time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.
My warmest wishes,
David
