I Looked At Her.... by Joan SerratelliI looked at her
and smiled
No longer a child
Not yet an adult.
I talked with her
and marveled
Her thoughts
so mature
I looked at her
and cried
my baby no more
with ideas of her own
I looked at her
with respect
she deserves
she has earned
I looked at her
and thought
she has grown
into her own person
I talked with her
and cried
my baby no more
a person I love.
