Cut the apron Strings

Where are the ones

Who used to run wild?

What ones do run mild?

Let them free

Let them go

Do not keep them on your toes

Set them free

Let them be

Freedom is a right not a statement

Give the room to do so

Explore and adventure is apart of life

Learning is made harder by been to hard and polite

A happy medium is always hard to get right

But in the end they all take flight

Teach them, love them and hold their hands in yours

Teach them all you know

Expression of speech is the greatest gift of all

Independence is something that will teach them patience

Listen and encourage

Be there when they fall

Be there when they ring you

And have lost it all

All the different stages our children go through

Teaches them and us so much

But we do all we can

To be the best we can

Memories and images of times gone by

Are captured in our hearts and family albums on shelves up high

So watching through the looking glass

At all that we do everyday

Teaches us to stay in control

Knowing that you have done so much right

Makes you wonder why you sit and worry so much

But that’s what we do as parents and guardians

As they move on and grow up

Know that they are just as proud of you too
