Milestone

A whole chapter without you

Each milestone I reach

Birthdays, celebrations

They are harsh reminders

But I am trying my best

I want you to be proud

A whole chapter with you not here

Days, weeks, years

Graduation

You should be there

But you never saw me start

Maybe that’s what hurts the most

A new chapter begins

You are my inspiration

I am so proud to be your daughter

I wish you could be by my side

To see me flourish and grow

Thank you for teaching me so much
