I Had To Let Her Go

Tiny purple tipped fingers Desperately clinging to mine I hope she knows, I had to let go Leaving my baby behind The hall that stretched before me Now, longer than before Had me thinking, I was sinking In between the doors I turned my back to her crying That was the hardest part But she couldn't see, that just like she I had a broken heart Outside, the rain was pouring To flood my cherry on top My eyes drained to join the rain I prayed that it would stop I eventually made it home Sat still for a long, long time The screeching sound of letting her down Bounced about my mind I always knew I would struggle Watching my children grow But because it means, stronger wings I had to let her go
