Melissa McKellar Poems

I never really thought about
How much I might miss you,
Should you ever go away:
I guess because I never really imagined
...

I woke up with a smile this morning
(You put it there last night).
And for only a moment, being alone didn't seem
So lonely.
...

I saw you standing before the mirror wearing your cap and gown;
You were practicing different smiles and such while no one was around.
It's so hard to believe you're a senior now; time has really flown:
Soon you'll be leaving for college and I'll be on my own.
...
