It was an important day. A major milestone. A once in a lifetime day. My son had his first day of high school. As a New Yorker, he commuted on the train on his own to school. I was a worried wart through and through. I had him text me at each major pivot point in the journey. I made him take a few selfies. And the feeling I felt upon seeing his piercing eyes looking back at me, at the front door of his school, was overwhelming. It felt like I put on a new pair of glasses that had been adjusted for further clarity and crisper vision.
I’ve always seen you for you
Unique, sure-footed, loving
Today, on a momentous day
I saw me in your eyes
You have my eyes
You have the seriousness
You have the determination
You have the willingness to embrace the situation
I was struck to see this clearly
I’m dumfounded by you being me
I always more than loved
Today, I felt a sense of legacy
