This Step

So much can be said
what this moment means
this step in their lives
the kernel within
hoping to grow
in the journey just begun
renewing our hope
in the seed within
the grace abounding
youthful exuberance
fragrant and blossom
in the time to be
needing our care
our nurture, our love
holding them lightly
like the wings of the dove
