From the mother’s womb they come,
These beautiful people of the future,
They who will inherit the love of parents,
As they start their wonderful lives.
The parents love them like no other,
Always there for them,
In times of joy,
In times of sadness,
That love of mum and dad unbounded.
Then that day comes,
That day when they leave.
When you leave them,
Leave them as they start their new life.
You know they must go,
Go into this new adventure.
That first day at school
It is so hard,
So hard for the parents,
So hard to let go
And see your child walk away.
Sometimes life can be hard,
So hard when that love is so strong,
But sometimes,
Sometimes love means letting go,
Letting go,
When all you want to do
Is hold on tighter.
