““I watched you enter the world in amazement. I held you in my hands. I carried you on my shoulders. I picked you up when you had fallen. I healed your wounds. I teared when you were hurting. I tried my best but felt it was never enough. Now you are grown ready to go on your own. I watch you prepare for you future and I fell helpless. I hold you in my arms. I cry on your shoulder but keep you from knowing. I pick myself up although I have not fallen. I have no wound but fell I need healing. I tear from my heart that feels so empty. I am trying my best but it is not working. Now you are gone but you will never be alone. I fell so empty but yet so proud I want you to be happy.””
