License to Leave : Family Poetry

A License to Leave

 

She is out of my reach

Ditching me

Crashing the door

Never thought

The day would come

She would journey alone

I feel the need

To keep her harnessed

I am a wreck

She requires independence

I can’t keep her protected

I steer toward faith

As she operates the metal

Her life in the hands

Of a maneuvering wheel

I let her depart

She exits the driveway

The sacrifice is mine

It’s a key to passage

A parent endures

That Signals

The voyage of time.
