I finally let go of the rope holding you so tight and safe.
It was time to let you fly or fall on your own.
Like a parent letting go of the bike seat, I have to hope and have faith that you will find your balance.
Always watching and always caring enough to help if needed, but no longer could I endure the rope burns from holding on so tight.
I wished you the best, and sent you on your way just a bit more secure than you started.
You have the strength to survive; without a tether choking your heart.
Be free, be happy, be alive more now than you ever thought possible.
All my love to you in your journey to happiness and discovery.
Tears stream as we stand there waving with happiness and sorrow.
Tomorrow will bring a new day of choices to start fresh.
Always there, always watching, always waiting..
Just to hold you again and give you my strength and love.
