Left the Nest

Everyone has gone their separate ways It's hard when your family grows up When their teens, you can't take another day Then you don't see them enough You mourn for the days you were their world But those were sometimes hard too Little boys and little girls To them everything was new I want them back, safe with me I'm not sure who I am without them Yet I know it's time they were free It's time to climb my own mountain
