| I Release You to Fly |
| Today, as I sat on the edge of eternity, and watched as life passed me by, I wanted to feel your embrace again, But couldn't no matter how hard I try. Life is not as simple as we think. Days seem to just come and go. But the treasures of that loved one, Oh, what a joy it is to know! I overhear other mothers when they cry, And wonder if their pain will ever ease. Is that the way I was meant to live? Oh tell me... tell me please. I know that a child is a precious gift. One that comes with few directions. We try our best to follow the handbook of life. But later see our imperfections. Loving a child is surely a full time job. And oh what blessings we receive! There are no nine to five jobs here, my friend. Never will there ever be, believe! We just keep on giving to our children. Even when they are no longer in sight. The love we have for them continues to grow. And prayers are said night after night. So, today as I sat on the edge of eternity and watched as time flew by. I couldn't help but feel your embrace ... Just before I released you to fly! ~ Kay Des'Ormeaux (C)2001 |
