Porch Light

Goldfinch60



They come into our world,

Such tiny beings

Who we love so much.

They grow before us.

Gaining experiences each day,

And each day they see us,

See us there for them,

Always there for them.

Bigger and bigger they get,

From childhood into adolescence,

That time where they may struggle,

Struggle to find their way,

But we are always there for them.

Then comes that day when they leave,

Leave our home

To make a home of their own.

As they leave they know,

They know that we will always be there,

Be there for them,

As there shining for them

When they come back

Will be the signal,

The signal of welcome, and love

As we leave on,

The porch light.

          I can relate to this somewhat, though I am not a parent. I am a preschool teacher. It is great to teach my kiddos and watch them learn and grow. But when they move up to another classroom, it is always hard to see them go. But its good, because they are growing up and becoming more adult like.

            Yes it is wonderful to see children grow and learn knowing that you have been part of that learning process.
