They own themselves, and they’re not me.

Independent. Fully grown.
With fond agendas all their own.

My arms let go to set them free.
My heart wants them to stay with me!

I’m no longer needed here;
My job is done; don’t interfere.

Life will keep them, wait and see.
And they’ll come home eventually.

With young ones of their own to start;
A journey that will break their hearts.

I’m proud of them, but I agree;
They own themselves, and they’re not me.

Independent. Fully grown.
With fond agendas all their own.

My arms let go to set them free.
My heart wants them to stay with me!

I’m no longer needed here;
My job is done; don’t interfere.

Life will keep them, wait and see.
And they’ll come home eventually.

With young ones of their own to start;
A journey that will break their hearts.
