Thanks Kids

There comes a time in our life 
when we want to be set free 
When our job is now all done 
From Responsibility 

To you who have leaned on us 
from the time that you were born 
Although our age is showing 
Our hearts are a little worn 

Please do know that it's okay 
It's fine if you don't stop by 
We'd like to be alone now 
Love from your mother and I 

Thanks Kids

You have a wonderful philosophical bent. I will try to read more of your work as time permits. I know I can not write anything too long. My brain just won't allow it.

We are also empty nesters and I have to admit I am enjoying this time in our life. Do still enjoy when our son comes home for his visits.
