Slice - RItes of Passage
Rites of Passage
![]() |
The bridge for the Crossing Over ceremony for Cub Scouts |
As a child, the path
to adulthood is a
long,
confusing trail.
Negotiating bedtimes
Bartering for allowance
Adding that "half" to each age.
Walking home from the bus alone
Makeup, dating, driving...
Each step, big or small,
Takes forever to navigate
As a parent,
I blink and up they shoot
6 inches taller,
on to a new school.
Rites of passage
Dot the landscape
of our lives.
Mile-markers and memories;
Nudges to remind me to
Step back,
Let go,
Let them grow.
