A DAUGHTER DONE GROWN UP

My little girl
Is growing up

Yesterday
Her blankets
Were BatMan and Robin

Today
Her room
Looks like
A young woman’s apartment

Everything in its place

All the childhood things
Put away in keepsake boxes
Under the bed.

I miss the
Wolverine poster
That anchored one side of your room
With Johnny Depp
Holding a foppish court
On the other side.

You are all grown up
But you will always be
My little Sweet Pea
