Do Not Stow Your Life Away

Do Not Stow Your Life Away Do not stow your life away Or stray in some godforsaken play Nothing worth having is just given away Do not look the other way Embrace with open heart What now seems the hardest part And should you get carried away Or even lost in any way A nudge, a touch I will apply Night and day on me you can rely For it is you, my child, Who forges firm untied This precious life

I am so glad you liked it. I've had this little poem sitting there for days, waiting to be released but I was missing one word: 'untied'. It finally came yesterday. It is so hard to let go . . .

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I was trying to give my kids some encouraging words; they are now young adults and have a lot of important decisions to make, and, as a parent, it is sometimes hard to be supportive without interfering with their lives.
