Daughter
Just a little while ago I fretted over sleepless nights,
asthma and pneumonia,
broken leg, broken elbow,
homework assignments,
clarinet cleaning,
buying the perfect speech dress
(black, simple and elegant,
"Something Audrey Hepburn would wear"),
and a first pair of high heeled shoes.

This is a wonderful poem! You are such a sweet mother. The details about going through her childhood stand out to me. The speech dress part was so true! Anna always has the most perfect dresses!
