Dedicated to my daughter who left home to start University
Gold Dust
I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
Pure in form and heart
A little piece of me, soon to journey this land
Time has passed quickly
Her gold dust has started to spread
And lately, not that long ago
She started plans to leave the nest
I held for a moment in time
A sprinkle of gold dust in my hand
And now as I blow it gently off
I give credit to my parents, because now I understand.
To all the parents who have had a young man or woman leave home to start their Uni journey xx
