Fully Grown
By Laura McCollough Mos
Three decades
nineteen eighty-one
I'm nineteen
he's twenty four
Your little face
beet red
in the hooded travel suit
The rest of us are sweating
not yet Labor Day
but aren't they supposed to be kept warm?
Somehow you survived our
inexperience
grew
THRIVED
We can't take credit
just stood by and
watched you
do your thing
proud young
WOMAN incarnate
strong
brilliant
beautiful
Admired
and
so, very
LOVED
Dr. Kathryn Moss
don't touch that dial....
wisdom
resilience
relaxation (yes you!)
