Raining
My love for my children is exploding inside
All of my emotions are in a landslide
My heart heavy and aching and making me weak
I'm lost in this black cloud, tears raining on my cheek
I raised and protected them until they spread their wings
Oh what happy memories their lives do bring
It seems only yesterday they were by my side
Always needing something or wanting a ride
I should be content they have made it this far
But I want to go back to the very start
I am not ready to be tossed aside
To let them live as they decide
I am their mother from beginning to end
Happy they're leaving I cannot pretend
This time should be a parent's ultimate goal
To Watch as their lives do unfold
But for now I am in pain
Is there anything that can stop this rain?
