Plans and promises

made over a lifetime

Best intentions and

all the right reasons



Thought I knew best

My way was the right way

Thought I knew

All I never knew



Balance shifted

s l o w l y

Frustration grew

exponentially



Time to relinquish control

No room for the pity party

every bit of me craves

I’m handing over the reins



Only took the words

“I’m doing it for Mom”

to make me realize

I need to do this for you



I surrender with a willing heart

Spread your wings and fly

Savor the blue skies up ahead

The storm has finally passed
