Growing Up

My little girl is growing up. At ten, she is no longer a little girl. She is now a young lady. The responsibility of helping your child grow into an adult is so enormous. It is frightning and joyous and scary... My daughter is so beautiful and amazing. I hope as a mother I can guide her into womanhood. I keep thinking I am not ready for this. I want more time... Time for her to just be a kid. Why do kids grow up so fast these days. I pray nightly for the wisdom and patience I need for the coming years...
