I LET YOU GO MY CHILDREN

I let you go my children ,
To fly away , to be your own ,
To erect respectful boundaries ,
Now that you have grown .
 
I let go of any remorse and guilt ,
A few regrets in your upbringing ,
If I knew then what I know now ,
With confidence I might be singing
 
I let go of fragile eggshells
Whose ownership is mine alone ,
I tread on them before you came along ,
On you I cannot cast first stone
 
My intentions were true and highest ,
Cheerful balanced  children my goal ,
True leaders , good human examples ,
As you walked away from my fold.
 
I would be delighted to rediscover ,
Whether our bond can now be earned ,
If curiosity replace past certainties ,
A new relationship can be learned
 
My willingness and love are unwavering ,
My deep faith in you stands firmly ,
Eager to choose and begin anew this
