Letting Go I watched you as you slept. I dare not touch you. For you were so peaceful in your slumber. I pressed my fingers to my lips and I blew you a kiss. You stirred ever so slightly I saw you smile and i knew It felt like an eternity awaiting for you arrival. You came and captured a piece of my heart. A piece that no other well be able to hold. It will always belong to you and you alone. No matter where you go You will always be with me. As I reminisce of years that have past I remember all- I was there for you whether it was happy filled with laughter or with sadness I’d wiped your tears. I was your everything as you were to me. Now the time has come I must let you go. For it is another that you need. I no longer can give the things in life you so desire. But please remember No matter what I am here for you If you ever find You need a place to rest your mind, Just call out to me. No matter your decision, even if it’s wrong, I will always believe in you. For you will always have a place in my heart. As I watch you walking away, I shed my tears. They are of sorrow fear,love, happiness. It is your time to find your place in life. For You have grown in to the person I have raised. I Love You Mom ````````````````````````` This is dedicated to my two children. They are now young adults. Living to explore their futures. May they be safe and have a fruitful journey. -------------- You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, yes you will That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King |

Oh Kitkat~ You have said a wonderful thing here with this piece. We mums unfortunately have to let go at some stage and watch our beautiful children grow into adults themselves and take responsebilities for themselves, so hard. I agree though that even so we are still here for them to lean on and to listen to them whenever they need that. I thank you for posting this wonderful poem you have written and just want to say what a wonderful mum you are Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Thank-you all for your replies. I have made copies and sent to my children. They both are very supportive of me when it comes to my poetry. Cutting them apron strings was a hard thing to do, as I know you know. |

Lovely poem, dedicated to the most important person in the world, the person who decides are future and we take our morality and attitudes from . I haven't as yet had the pleasure of trying to leave home, but I can see how difficult it can be . Thanks for sharing it with every one . With poetry as your weapon - express your iner feelings so all may carry your sorrow, united as one . |
