poetry mayhem...this one is for my daughter

chrysalis


once very tiny inside my womb
growing ever so slowly
ready to be reborn
born once when conceived
born again when you emerged
with a kick and a cry 
into your new world
awakend and amazed at all around you
growing so fast and learning  so quickly
struggling
overcoming 
lonely
screaming
crying
railing against the bonds that hold you down
in love
happy
beautiful
smiling
blossoming
into the person you are today
once again like a chrysalis
you have opened your wings
and are ready to be reborn again
to begin the next adventure
to travel down a new road
to live a new life
your were mine
now i set you free
