Wings to Fly

Thanksgiving Day, 11/24/2005

When you came into this world, I was your mother

Responsible for keeping you alive

I fed you, clothed you, met your every need

So connected, we were One, you and I

As you grew into a toddler full of wonder

My love for you continued to grow
Your eyes, they shined with light like no other

Feeling safe enough, you learned how to say, “No”

You can do so many things now on your own

You are older and I feel you need me less

Inside, a part of me wants to hold on

But if I do, you will never reach your best

To let go, does not mean that you will die

To let go, will give you wings to fly

As you grow into the person you’re becoming

I feel the back and forth within your heart

A part of you knows that you are whole

Trust it…we will never be apart

To let go, does not mean that you will die

To let go, will give you wings to fly

You came into this world for your own reasons

Now I understand, I play a part

This life is yours to live the way you’ve chosen

And know, that you are always in my heart

To let go, does not mean that you will die

To let go, will give you wings to fly

To let go, will give you wings to fly
