"I'll Hold You Without Holding You Back
I promise to hold you, but never hold on to you. When you look at me with your big brown eyes, searching for a hug, a kiss, comfort and security, my heart melts with joy. I am there in an instant, knowing that today you turn to me for everything. I yearn to hold you, protect you and nurture you. And while it makes me whole to meet your needs, I must constantly remind myself that I am really only your guide for a short time. You are on your own journey. A bud that will blossom into its own brilliant flower.
I know there will come a time when you will no longer look to me for all your needs, when you must search for your own answers. You will want to wander around the world and collect your own treasures. I know there will come a time when I have to let go and admit that you are old enough to make your own decisions and determine your own actions.
I promise you that I will let go and give you the freedom to grow and become your own person. And whenever you want my advice, my embrace, and my smile, I will be there for you. I will always answer your call and listen to whatever is going on in your beautiful heart. For as long as you need me. I know at times it will be hard for me to hold back, I will respect your freedom and give you wings to fly freely with confidence, joy and security. MOM.
