We Left You At The Door

We took you down to school today. You're just beginning now. Although this year you're five years old, you seem so young somehow! We didn't take you all the way, for we'd been told before, "Don't go into his room with him. Just leave him at the door."

Up to this time we've always gone together everywhere,
And we have had a lot of fun while traveling here and there;
But we well knew before it came, we're parted more and more. So many times we will stand outside and leave you at the door.

You're growing up so very fast. It's hard to keep in step.
The fact of changing years is hard for parents to accept.
You'll have to walk your path alone. No matter what's in store. We'll bring you up to life's classroom. Then leave you at the door.

While you were ours these tender years. We treasured every day, Full knowing that the time would come, when you would go your way. And though this love will still remain, within our heart's deep care. Our eyes will sting to see you go and leave us at the door!
