Bound by Love, Freed by Growth

I love you so, my little one, more than words can say,
You’re the light of my life, don’t ever fade away.
I’ll hold you close, protect you from all harm,
Please don’t leave me, stay here in my arms.

You’ve grown so fast, my precious child, so strong, so tall,
But in my heart, you’re still my baby, still so small.
I’ll hold you tighter as you grow, please don’t drift away,
I need you close, my little angel, please, I pray.

Mother, I love you, but your hold is much too tight,
I need some space, to find my way, to spread my wings and take flight.
Your love, it shelters me, but I can’t breathe inside,
I need to step away, to stand on my own, to find my stride.

I’m growing up, I need to see what lies beyond our door,
Your embrace, it’s warm, but I need room, I need more.
Please understand, it’s not goodbye, it’s just time to explore,
I need some space, but I’ll still love you, even more.

I see you growing, my dear child, and it fills me with pride,
But the fear of losing you is something I can’t hide.
I want to keep you safe, protect you from the unknown,
But I know that to truly love you, I must let you go on your own.

Now I’ve left, and the world seems so wide, so vast,
But in my heart, your love remains, it’s something that will last.
You never gave me space to find my way, to be me,
But now I’m free, and I hope you’ll see, I had to leave to truly be.

I’ll always love you, mother dear, but I need to stand alone,
Your love will guide me, but the path ahead is my own.
Please understand, it wasn’t easy to step away,
But to grow, I had to go, and I’ll love you more each day.
