It seems only a few years ago,
A tiny delicate lass –
Burst into my life with a wail and a scream.
Hello beautiful.
Long in limb and tall in stature,
All blond hair and curls tumbling down.
Emerald eyes – a gazelle, a graceful beauty –
Independent even then.
Mothers and daughters share a love
Even when they disagree.
The greatest accolade to be found
Is when a mother and a daughter
Become friends –
Accepting and accommodating,
Sharing thoughts and visions,
All pretense aside.
Tabitha, my daughter – my friend.

Beautifully said. I too have the same kind of relationship with my two grown daughters. It’s wonderful when you become friends and truly like, as well as love each other.
