ready or not?!

trying not to
hang on so tightly

this i know;
i need
to set them free

deep down i know
they need to go
out into the world

to shine their light

to share his love
with others*

to live confidently
on their own
so very
far away from
home

i cannot smother
i must not cling
but, to let them
go and spread
their wings

a hole
in my heart
left by their
absence

i know, yes, i know
it is time
it is right
to take a deep breath,
to smile
 through
this emptiness
and to be ever
so proud
of them

as hard as it is;
ready or not
i will let go
