The first gestation period was nine months
The second nineteen years
Friends of a certain age
post restrained emotions on their page
or wall. No, those aren’t tears at all
All we can do is wind you up
Point you forward and set you on your way
I haven’t wiped your backside for many years
And you don’t have to wipe my tears
Because you know
it’s not so hard to let you go
when you’re so ready to make your move
Yours is the future, the past is mine
You’ve turned out absolutely fine
