Letting Go.......!

I'm sorry if I hurt you
held onto you too tight
it's only that I love you
but all we do is fight

you have places to go to
and people you hold so dear
yet I find it so hard to let you go
it's something that I really fear

you're all grown up now
and need to fledge this home
then your siblings will follow
I'll be left here all alone.

I know I have to be brave
and let you leave this place
it's all part of growing up
and finding your own space !

so with a smile and a wave
I'll let you go on your way
grateful to have had time with you
and I'll see you soon another day!
