In four very short moments
I will finally be eighteen
In five "it'll all go by in a blink of an eye"
I will be walking across the stage diploma in hand
In six heart felt memories
I will be boarding the airplane that takes me on the flight that will change my life forever.
Yet when people ask me what I'm most afraid of when it comes to the future,
I smile tears in my eyes and say
I'm not afraid of what is to come.
I'm just not looking forward to how much I am going to miss my mom.
Because in six very short blink of an eye heart felt memories,
I will no longer be able to simply walk over and hug her after a long and hard day.
I will not be able to hear the voice that has brought me so much strength in my life everyday.
I will not be able to hear her call me a dumbass with a laugh after I do something stupid, and as silly as it is I'm gonna miss it.
She is the person who taught me what strength really is.
She is the person who loved me, especially when she wanted nothing more than to strangle me.
She is the woman I strive to be.
So even though in six very short blink of an eye heartfelt moments everything is going to change
I am not afraid of what's to come
I am just not looking forward to how much I'm going to miss my mom.
