Only I Can Say

Your first step brings so much joy to me

This is the first sign that you can do things by your own

I am happy and also scared when you start to walk

What if you fall, what if you cry

Only I can say it’s part of your GROWING

 

When you first entered the school

I am so worried you will not like it

What if you fail, what if you cry

Only I can say it’s part of your FOUNDATION

 

When you succeed to entered college

I am so proud and grateful

I am frightened of who is around you

What if there is pressure, what if there is stress

Only I can say it’s for your FUTURE

 

When you finally became an adult

I am so blessed you grew up a good person

I am scared what life will brings in you

What if there is too much risk, what if you are depress

Only I can say it’s part of LIFE

 

When you settle down

I am so happy you made it perfect

I am not scared anymore

You grew up strong

 

Now that I am old

I love looking at you

I am not scared when I am no longer with you

Only I can say I gave you EVERYTHING that I could

I LOVE YOU my child.
