Leaving the nest


As parents, we do our best 
 To teach our children the skills they’ll need 
To find their way into a world 
 We’ll never fully know or understand. 
But inevitably that day comes 
When we must turn them loose 
And watch them swim away, 
Trusting they’ll have the courage, 
The strength, endurance, and good fortune 
To arrive safely at their chosen shore…
