Sweet companion, extension of my soul, my young adult daughter and my friend

Time to go, time to grow/ find your place in the world
Develop who you are and what you do
Stand on your own as you learn to lean on Jesus

At first-
A gaping tear, hole in my heart
Happy for you, aching for me
A slice of my soul lives where you are

Now-
Feeling helpless to help when you hurt
Satisfied to move on myself when you are strong and confident
Missing the companionship that is unique between us
but also pressing forward trying to develop new relationships
