Cycle To End

Wait for me dear child,
Do not continue onwards,
Without me tagging at your feet,
Becoming unable to hinder you,
From evil that might befall you,
As you were once needy of me,
Every second and minute,
Of all those sleepless nights,
Spent to comfort a wailing baby,
That you once were.
And today,You have outgrown,
To be independant and all knowing,
Confident with our boosts,
As positive parents,
As we we cry inwardly,
Having lost,
And becoming separated from a bond,
Imbedded deep down in us,
As we are mixed with pride,
And a sense of achievement,
The same as we had felt,
With your first tooth,
First crawl and walk,
First separation,
And strong determination,
To break bonds of dependancy,
As is the cycle to end infancy,
And to enter the world of adult
Responsibility.

Excellent observation and write, Esra. Parenthood is from infancy an incremental exercise in letting go.
Best regards,
Leland
