    Learing to Let Go (7/26/2007)
    You took my hand
    When I was 2
    I was going to slip and fall
    You said "I never want anything to happen to you,"
    You held me close
    When I was 13
    Had my first heartache
    You gave me a hug and said "See what happens when you like boys?"
    You comforted me
    As I was getting older
    We talked about the rights and wrongs
    You left saying "My shoulder is yours to lean on."
    But when it is time for me to stop leaning on your shoulder
    A father starts to realize
    How hard it is to let go
