Empty Nest

E very parent nurtures, through laughter and tears, 
M aking dreams bloom across fleeting years. 
P rotecting their young from a world unknown, 
T eaching life's lessons in a loving tone. 
Y et, in time, their children will chart their course,

N ewly embarked, driven by life's force. 
E ntering realms that were once untold, 
S eparated from warmth, in a world so bold, 
T hey will value the lessons you’d hoped to mold.
