Growing

"Growing" has been amongst my favourite verses, which has time and again inspired, motivated and encouraged me. Given me hope, ambition and zeal. Made me feel brave, grown up, responsible and a bit more loving. Sharing my favourite poem with you, which always stirs my soul in a manner yet inexplicable to me :)

I'm leaving now to slay the foe-

Fight the battles, high and low.

I'm leaving, Mother, hear me go!

Please wish me luck today.

I've grown my wings, I want to fly,

Seize my victories where they lie.

I'm going, Mom, but please don't cry-

Just let me find my way.

I want to see and touch and hear,

Though there are dangers, there are fears.

I'll smile my smiles and dry my tears-

Please let me speak my say.

I'm off to find my world, my dreams,

Carve my niche, sew my seams,

Remember, as I sail my streams-

I'll love you all the way.

- Brooke Mueller
