I found a Mother and Daughter Carnival over at  http://singforhim94.blogspot.com  and here is my entry. I wrote this poem a few years ago after a shopping trip for new school clothes when my oldest was starting 6th grade. If you've raised daughters, you'll identify.

That Day

Out of the dressing room they came

walking side by side.

Mother,drying her teary eyes,

Daughter, smiling wide.

If these lines make sense to you

Then you've raised a daughter,  too.
