Leaving
Each day we face many trials
Did we make a good choice today,
For if we didn't we'll soon know
The cost is high that we will pay.
As children we only watch adults
Thats the way we all learn,
Our parents try their best to guide us
Although they are at times to stern.
They often say just you wait
Someday as adults you'll see,
But sometimes it them who forget
We are adults, they must let us be.
Every bird must learn to fly
Each child will move away,
They must live life on their own
Learn from their mistakes each day.
Can't hold us back forever
Nor make us feel guilty to leave,
Its now our life and own choice
It is ourself that we must please.
