Embrace - Release
Embrace, we did-
our children growing up;
well-blessed with three-
sweet nectar in our cup.
How soon those empty nests
did change our days;
release, we did-
and let them fly- with praise.
Embrace, we did-
with five grandkids are blessed
But too, those years
went fast- another test.
Soon, empty nests, two-fold-
they flew away.
Release, we did-
still praise them every day.
Embrace, we did-
dear great-granddaughter's birth!
Our time again
to fill our lives with mirth.
We pray time slows,
as she is growing fast;
Embracing still-
we want this joy to last.
But, as we age-
someday, they'll say goodbye-
Release- their turn-
when we, to heaven fly.
And so is life-
embrace, and then let go;
all cycles must complete
the way they flow.
