Letting Go

As you lie here sleeping beside me

And I look at your beautiful face

I can't stop my mind from thinking

How we ended up in this place


Was it something I did?

Or was it just meant to be

Maybe it was written in the stars

That you were the one for me


My heart bursts with love for you

To the point where it's hard to bare

The emotions I feel every day

It's true my heart on my sleeve I wear


I know I don't always get it right

I know sometimes I have been wrong

But I'm trying my very best

As we try to stumble along


I will always be in your corner

Of that you must always know

And as you enter the world of school

It will be so hard to let you go


How can you go to school?!

How can so much time have passed?!

I'm really not ready for this

It's all going so very fast


Leaving you there without me

Will heighten all of my fears

I hope I can hold it together

I dont want you to see my tears


I wish I could be there with you

As you figure out this foreign land

I wish I could stay by your side

I wish I could hold your hand


I hope your teacher understands

If you don't know what to say

I hope the children understand

When you don't want to play


I will wonder what you are doing

Every minute of the day

I will wonder what you are thinking

I will wonder if you are ok


I will count down the time til I see you

And I know that you are alright

I will smother you in kisses

And squeeze you so very tight


But I guess you are growing up now

And even though it hurts me so

I guess there's not much I can do

But try to let you go


Love you so much Logie Bear, have a great first day at school. xxx
