To My Child On Your Graduation�
Congratulations!!!!�
From this day forth
you are a whole person.
Complete within yourself
Bright and strong,
Just like you've always
longed to be!�
But, forgive me my child,
I must confess,
This is not easy for me.
It seems the years have been
far too few, since first
I nestled your infant form
warm against my chest.
And rocked away your tears.�
I taught you how to tie your shoes
To read and say your prayers.
There's an endless list I'd like to teach,
But then, I've never�
learned it all myself.
And I've survived, so you shall too.�
Though I was never the perfect parent,
Nor you the perfect child,
We always loved each other
even when the love was tough
or hard to understand.�
And I shall love you still
with a love that is so boundless,
I would die for you.
Even so, I cannot live for you.
For I know that if you are
to become, All that God has
planned for you to be,
You need some space to spread you wings
And fly away from me.�
So on this, your Graduation Day,
I give the gift you've wanted most,
~~But the hardest one for me.~~�
My precious child, with tears
upon my cheeks
~~This day~~
~~I set you free~~�
