Twas the Night before College……
When all through the house…
Not a creature was stirring not even a louse.
The suitcases were lined by the front door with care.
Hoping we packed enough clean underwear!
You and Shadow were all nestled, snug in your bed.
While I kept pacing and shaking my head.
Sam was hacking your i phone and checking on our flights.
I was trying not to cry with all my Irish might!
I looked through some pictures— And thought of the days… When you would boldly say;
“Your not the boss of me, I don’t agree- I have an idea _ just listen to me!”
As I peeked in your room to stare at your face, the memories of your childhood fell into place. I tiptoed closer to give you kiss and a silent loving wish…
That you, my sweet Katie live each day as if it’s your first.
Know that you are my heart and I am here for you always!
Now Dash Away! Dash Away!
Dash away to Texas, off you go!! You are so loved and that you know!
