Daughters

I wrote this a few months before my youngest daughter and my "make-believe" daughter, an Indonesian exchange student living with us for two years, went off to college. I remember it like it was yesterday. We talked about life, love, and living on your own.

Daughters

 

Last night

10 o’clock

Walking to the Dairy Queen

Stars bright

Across the sky

 

Two beautiful girls

In the dark

Laughing by my side

Daughters talking

Eating sundaes and Blizzards

Friends standing in line

 

Just a few

More months

And they’ll be gone

It makes my heart cry

I’m gonna miss

Their laughs

And constant jokes

And daring questions

And crying eyes

 

A beautiful time

Last night

We only have one daughter and I remember the tears I shed when she first went off to University. It happens and we have to let go as much as it hurts. Great write Dayvid.
