The Cycle Of Life - Part I
tucked into bed you rest
yet i can see and feel you little one
alone out there in this big world
but i am with you young woman
making those first big steps on your own
and i totally understand how important they are
i can hear the little girl in you
sometimes when you call
but mostly i can hear the woman you are
as you tell me of your journey thus far
i miss you little one now on her own
at night when the world is quiet
and you are reading quietly or
playing some tunes fixing up your room
or even when i wake and there is no one there
to greet me at the start of the day
still my precious daughter
i see the ghost of you everywhere i go
for we have walked this path together
	suffered it
	endured it
	survived it
and nothing can deminish this
you are a woman of the world now
but you will always be
my little Angel
