You Can Do It

The Good-Bye He was going off to college with his mom watching on. Tears in her eyes even though he would not be gone long. Had she taught him enough would he make it? What if too much stress and he could not shake it? Before he left, there were kisses and hugs then she slipped a note in his luggage........ Dear Jonathan, A lot of laughter, some pain Circle back then rearrange Time to stop this train, let it be Try a different route and set free Know who you are and mean it Be confident and brave you will benefit Dreams, who you are when you are awake Open the gate, at the front line, your time to shine Now go make it... ©Holly P. Moore February 2013 To my son Jonathan, the baby is leaving the nest
