Great Regulars: This column originates on the campus

of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and at the beginning of each semester, we see parents helping their children move into their dorm rooms and apartments and looking a little shaken by the process. This wonderful poem by Sue Ellen Thompson of Maryland captures not only a moment like that, but a mother's feelings as well.

Helping My Daughter Move into Her First Apartment

from Ted Kooser: American Life in Poetry: Column 231
