My best big girl, as I call her,
well she is off to college next week,
she will be living miles away,
in a bedsit, on her own.

Who is more scared, her or me,
yep you guessed it me!!

However,
I get feel good vibes about the whole thing,
I think, I hope, I pray,
this is going to do her the world of good.

Although she is my quiet one,
she is steady and strong,
has her mothers good sense,
(most of the time, for her and me)
She does not get in a flap at the drop of a hat
(not like me there)
in fairness she gets that from her dad,
a good point,
how about that...

She is quiet, she will sit back sometimes,
and whilst that can be good,
on occassions it can be not bad,
but sometimes doing nothing has no benefit.

Im sure that a few weeks out there,
 in the big wide world,
she will come into her own, she will have to,
but I can see it in her, I always have, its there,
the thought, the twinkle, the independence,
the smile, the wit.

When she doesnt have to look
or wait for the go on do it...
the approval, the why dont you do that,
she will take ownership.

I believe,
the best for her
is about to come,
I believe
the best of her
is about to come.

Come on the world,
be good to my best big girl,
she will be good to you.
