Haiku on dropping a daughter off at college..

Trying to be strong.
Strength defined: Fully present.
(Tears are signs of strength.)

Pride is not selfish
Of accomplishments and love.
We celebrate her.

Unknowns are unknown
Invitations to have faith.
Prayer nurtures peace.

Mom and dad met here.
Dad kissed mom for the first time
On this very porch.

You will shine brightly.
(Have shone greatly already.)
Always in His hands.

Lord, hear our prayers
As family is growing,
We Trust in Your Love.
