Raining

My love for my children is exploding inside All of my emotions are in a landslide My heart heavy and aching and making me weak I'm lost in this black cloud, tears raining on my cheek I raised and protected them until they spread their wings Oh what happy memories their lives do bring It seems only yesterday they were by my side Always needing something or wanting a ride I should be content they have made it this far But I want to go back to the very start I am not ready to be tossed aside To let them live as they decide I am their mother from beginning to end Happy they're leaving I cannot pretend This time should be a parent's ultimate goal To Watch as their lives do unfold But for now I am in pain Is there anything that can stop this rain?
