On this day, I watch you with loving eyes.
Your giggles and squeals, your cries and hunger
are almost as loud as the screams of pain I had to go through.
On this day, You turned 10 and had fallen off your new bike
You cried the same cry as you did when I held you for the first time.
On this day, I watch as you walk across the stage,
Ready for the world and ready for a new life.
On this day, I watch you pack your bags.
Leaving me as I knew you would.
One day.
