Plans

You are so good
    at what you do
      and so loved
    for who you are,
      that it is hard
          to watch you leave.

But in a much bigger way,
   I am beyond
     proud of you
       for reaching forward
               and
            letting go
       for allowing yourself
            to be
              and
         no longer pushing yourself
            to be in a place you love
                but isn’t quite right
                         now.

You have gifts
   that are screaming to be used
         and
   your true place
     has walls that are ready
        to be knocked down.

While you are so beautiful here,
   I know
     you will soon
             be even brighter.

These opportunities
         possibilities
   are just the start
     for where you may
        end up someday
   and so small
     compared to the plans
        He has for you.
