Seventeen Today…
She speaks as one who has witnessed the ages
traveled the world
wise beyond her years
solving everyone’s problems but her own
Independent and saucy
always a handy retort
perfecting the art of clever repartee
Gilmour Girls dialogue in motion
She is facing her future making life decisions
none that will include me
She’s closing the door on the childhood
she will soon leave behind
But all I see is her first smile
her first steps
her first day of school
all I hear is her first cries
her first words
her first belly laugh
all I feel is my little girl
climbing
up for a hug
resting her head on my shoulder
She’s seventeen today
excited about the future and whatever lies ahead
but I need to steal these moments
to remember where she’s been
