things get checked

off.

Persevere my friends

Happy Monday

~Letting go

It’s hard.

Those first times,

for everything.

You want to wrap them up

in cottonwool

soft as clouds.

Protect them from this world

that can be so rewarding

yet also so dark.

They were excited.

I was….

scared

but didn’t show it.

kissed them,

waved them off

Tomorrow I am sure

will be

easier
