Some smiling, some sad
Eyes shining or tearing
Sometimes distant,
sometimes piercing
Years of growth
A hopeful spirit,
a soul that’s searching
Confident and steady
or hesitant and lurching
Time passes quickly
Grasping for life’s lessons
Reaching and yearning
Life’s experiences hard and soft
but there for the learning

As I’ve seen you blossom
into the woman you are
Strong and surefooted
That strength deeply rooted
Now you walk your own path
But the hole caused by your absence
Is filled by the memory of you
My student, my teacher
My daughter, my treasure
