My Not-A-Child

As you grow older

Don’t grow Away from me

As you reach for shining stars

Don’t make me watch you from afar

Freedom doesn’t have to be Alone

Travel far… remember Home

Now that you are growing strong

I would love to come along

Some time spent, just me and you

Now that growing up is through

Let you Go, I will and Must

Try those wings! And Soar…it’s Just

That when you go, you take my Heart

I think of you when we’re apart

I love your smile, your thoughts, your dreams

So when life is too hard, it seems

Then know that I’ll be waiting still

Open arms, for you to fill

As it was when you were small,

“Together” is the Best of all
