Leave Mean Comments To Yourself
Why can't people let me be
So I can raise my family
In the way that I see fit
I don't like being told one bit
How I am not letting them
Grow up--- just protecting them
Not letting my children grow
And be free, but they don't know
Why I'm keeping them so close
It's my heart and theirs that chose
To stay together for a while
Until they reach a special mile
Stone in their lives and want to go
Until then I'm gonna show
How much they both mean to me
I'm not acting selfishly
Like people are always saying
I have had it and not playing
They can talk and criticize
And keep asking me the "whys"
Of how I'm letting them stay
Not letting them go their own way
Into the world and grow up
Will everyone please shut u[
There are special reasons why
They are not ready to fly
Even thought they are "adults"
I'm not gonna kick them out
Until they are really ready
And be strong, solid, and steady
On their own and fly away
But until that fateful day
They're welcome to stay as long
As they want, it is not wrong
For me to give all my love
To my babies-I wont shove
Them into a world where they are scared
Because they were so unprepared
To find a nest of their own
They will never be alone
