Leaving Home
I'm just not sure how I feel but what I am not is numb. Full of deep concern and fear of the unknown as I see you travel so far away from home. Please don't lose your direction, please stay on the path as I don't want to see you roam. know that the door is open that it will never close. My feelings are sadness, love and happiness that my once little duckling Is really leaving and leaving the nest. I know you have to grow and go but still I feel I'll love you best. There is just no understanding that there will be an empty nest. Sadness that the time has come for you to move along. Sadness as your need for me feels like playing a good bye, good luck or I'm gonna miss you song. Sadness I can't accept that you!ll be gone. Love because you are a part of me to which I wish no harm. love because that's what you do when you are a mom. Love and deep concern for all that this life can do. Love because I need you to understand that this is what you need for yourself if you are to stand a chance in this thing called life. Love yourself a lot and don't settle for second best. Always remember mother because her love is the best. Happy that you are ready to be the independent you. Happy that you can express the grown up side of you that apron string and childlike things are what you just out grew. They are a thing of the past . Happy that a mothers love will never be the past. Happy that you will make a life for yourself and do your best. While knowing that I'm happy for you doesn't mean that I'm at rest. #feelingabandoned.
