We raise our children with love and care
We teach them right from wrong
We love them, hold them, comfort them
Keep them safe from harm

The one day in the blink of an eye
We realize they're all grown
The leave the home they've always lived
For a life out on their own

We miss that little hand of theirs
That once held ours so tight
That sweet angelic peaceful face
We watched them sleep at night

We send them out into the world
Praying for them all the best
We pray to God to keep them safe
Great things for them, nothing less

Jill, Very nicely put. A daily reminder to those whose children have yet to leave home and a too real reminder to those whose children already have.  Thanks for this. Panne
