Jo Hayton Poet Rhyme

Stay With Me

From my baby girl
Who never left my side
To my beautiful teen
Who wants to run and hide

A washing machine
Spins round in your head
When you can't blame hormones
You blame me instead

You've fallen out the nest
Way too soon to see
Your wings aren't ready
Stay with me

I know you believe
Your too strong to stay put
That life is too exciting
To keep your eyes shut

But you've fallen far
And way too long
You've all your life to fly
Stay with me, stay strong

I'm not letting you fall
I know you believe you can
But every instinct in me stands up
I'm your heart, i'm your Mam

Fall when life is safe
When you know what to do
Right now you need me
As i need you

My beautiful girl
So strong and set for sea
Wait for  your wings
Stay with me

For my teenager daughter age 14
