Mother, Letting Go

It's hard for a Mother,To Let go
When She's stuck in between,

Doesn't know or Realize
That her Child Grew.. In Size

They're no longer a child or a teen,
But a Young adult... Past Sixteen

When they're getting on their own,
No matter how long, They may roam,

She's always Up waiting
For them to come home

When they're there,She shows.. She Cares
She's Happy.. Full of Hugs and Kisses

Because she knows that some day,
They won't be home to stay

When They are Grown, 
With a Family of their own,

They'll come to Realize,
What their Mother went through,

Because they'll be doing it too
When Their Children are Grown
