If you truly love them let them go...

That day

The first time you ever hold your child

Small and fragile

You have no idea how much it is like holding a baby dove

For one day

When grown

When ready

They will spread their wings

At first they will falter

You might need to give them a nudge

It might even make you cry

They might look back needing guidance

But then they will fly

You will feel sadness

You will feel pride

As they soar above you in their own sky
