Letting Go

I hear a soft whisper
a lonely mother's cry
I see a faint desire
to hold on to him tight

time passes slowly
and covers up the pain
but with every passing moment
she needs him still the same

She needs his loving touch
She needs that soft embrace
She needs that warm sweet smile
and his ever steady face

I want you to spread your wings
To go much farther still
Yet my grasp has grown much tighter
and has overcome my will

Please Oh Lord
I need to let go
I need to be Strong
and allow him to grow
