THE RITE OF PASSAGE
It is with a breaking of my heart
and a tearing of my soul,
Despite my selfish need I must let you go.
I know it's what's best for you,
Still I love and need you so.
I need you now more than ever before !
I'm scared to take the next step alone!
You guided me and taught me much about life.
You were always there to teach me through.
Yet now in my weakest hour,
I am alone for the first time without you !
I am afraid I will make a mistake.
For now I must take my place as
"Mother Wisdom-The Nurturer",
And I AM SCARED !!!
Deep in the tear in my soul
Lie the seeds of Strength,
Wisdom and understanding
That you planted so very long ago.
God give me courage now to harvest
The fruits of a lifetime
And plant the seeds in my children,
For they too someday must enter the
Rite of Passage !!
But most of all help me to ALWAYS be there
No matter what! Teach them, guide them
And most of all...
To Nurture them with compassion,
Unconditional love and understanding
As all those before me have always done...
So with a tearing of my heart
And a breaking of my soul...
Despite how much I love and need you
I now let you go, for the Father of
Us all has called you home.
I love you and until we meet again
I will try to teach the children well
As you have taught me !
I love you...
