saying good-bye, for now


she had to grow up and become her own woman,
I still embrace her as tightly as I did when
she was a young girl, but now I have to say
good-bye and watch her walk away to her life.
I turn the ignition in the rental car, and
load the address of where I am headed
in my own life into the trusty GPS.
We separate from each other, off to gather
life's bounty to share when we see each
other again.
