Time to let go............

Since I went to visit the University with my first born child, my heart has been so weak, I thought I might die.

Time is marching on now ,only weeks to come before that baby of mine leaves my home and learns to fly.

As I sit with him and share talks I want to cry.

I try and hold back the tears, but sometimes I cant, no , not I!!!!

He sees this and holds my hand, andsays mom I know......It will be alright.

Alright for who? I want to scream.

I know its for the best , for I have done right by him and he has also for me.

This boy has given something I never thought I would have ...... The Pride of being a mommy and  not just being a nobody.

He gave me smiles
He gave me laughter
He gave me love
He gave me childhood
He gave me anger,anger that I always forgave.
He gave me a heart to love and never took it away.
He  gave me PRIDE not only in him, but also in myself.
He gave me dreams of dragons and knights, that I still chase after!


He taught me how to hit a ball
He taught me all about GI Joe
He taught me to stand proud and tall
He taught me internet lingo
He taught me how not to look like a mom at The Mall
Above all he taught me how to pick myself back up from a fall.

I know where his home is.
Yet so does he.
He will be home Holidays and breaks and The entire Summer with me.
With me I say?
Who am I kidding?
I raised this child into a man.
He will date
He will have fun
He is now old enough to enjoy his time in The Sun.
So I tell myself this with each passing moment.......
You have done well as a single mom
He loves and respects you and always keeps his heart light on.
So let him rise like a Phoenix and fly high , you are and always will be his mom.
