Slipping Away
You know when you have it all figured out
You have held her little hands
You have plans of the way you want her to be
You know how you want to mould her
But
She doesn't like to be held anymore
She wants to sit in her own big girl seat
She has her own mind now
Mommy cannot sway her little "no's" anymore
She jumps when she wants...
She skips when she feels...
You live in fear
You fear the dangerous society, the peer pressures, the influences, her friends...
Would she stand strong
Would she make it through
Would you protect her all the way through
Saving her from all the traps before her
The little shells she collects with you and from you
Is the only hope to hold on too
