On Contemplating College before Preschool
by Britt Kaufmann

 
I know you better than anyone
But that will change
The farther you go
The wider I must open
My arms to the world
 
I will only lose you if
I fold my arms up
Tight against my chest
To hold my own aching heart
 
What wonders will
I come to see and love?
Whose children shall
I call my own?
 
You will never stray
From my embrace
When I fling my arms out wide
And send you on your way
