Into dust
Looking through the glass I saw the alphabet boys
Thinking this is going to be bad, very bad.
Shifting my gaze over to my daughter sitting there innocent
Knowing in just a few minutes her whole world would never be the same
In a breath remembering her youth and all the years in between
I moved next to her reached out and held her hand
Looking into her eyes I exclaimed “Listen to me now”
“Every moment of every day up till now as prepared you for this.”
With her beautiful serious smile she asked “what do you mean”?
My mind racing "Oh how I so want for this to go away, to protect her, anything but this"!
I replied “no matter what happens in the next few minutes, you take care of you”.
The doors opened and then our world crumbled into dust...........................
