Haiku Strength

Horrible three weeks
I'm sorry you've been so sick
Getting better now!

I hate to see you
suffering in the least bit.
So strong and healthy

You hardly show pain
I'm sorry I didn't know
Chicken Pox so mild

I'm so proud of you
The things you have been doing
Even while sick

Learning to swim now
Not afraid of the water
fearless and afloat

Hating to come out
of swim class and of our pool
You're trying so hard

Never thought you'd go
Your recital tomorrow
But you're excited

Rehearsal was great
Took the stage like a real pro
Who is this big girl?

Carnival this week
On ev'ry ride big and small
fearless and alive

My heart skips a beat
your fearlessness takes my breath
I stay strong for you

If you see my fear
of letting you go, be free
you may just recoil

Never hold you back
you deserve freedom and fun
I'll always be here

Hard to see you go
have fun without your mommy
LOVE to see you smile

Makes it all worth while
Seeing you careless and free
Stay like that always

I'll help you get there
And when you falter, I'm here
again to hold you
