My Daughter
That is my daughter
elegant, graceful, slender and tall
She is so full of herself
such a know-it-all teenager
Now, I stand in her shadow
once as elegant as she
Once as know-it-all as she
Now, in her own,
she thinks I know nothing
can do nothing right
She acts like I have grown old and dumb
She struts with
that I-know-it-all stance
I stand here in the shadow
Waiting
I stand for the day she comes around
Waiting
for the day she has her own daughter
I stand here for her
waiting her to realize
I gave her
knowledge, guidance, and love, so
she can stand there
in her glory
I stand here in the shadow
Waiting
patiently, lovingly waiting
I stand here in our shadow
– Shelley Lowell
