My Child
I cannot choose the path
That you must venture to...
Let your heart take the lead
In whatever you pursue.
You are my child, my treasure
It's difficult to let go...
Although your journey will be long
I must let you grow.
If the journey weakens you
Because of its demands...
I'll be walking by your side--
Reach out and take my hand.
If you ask, I'll promise
To walk with you to the end...
But my love will be steadfast
As you round the bend.
