When to Let Go

Who says that it is, to be a mother,
You must know.
But tell me how do you know
When to let go?
When you’re holding that little one
In your arms so tenderly
How do you know?
When to let go?
When they take their first step
Their little fist clenched tight on your finger
How do you know?
When to let go?
The roller skates, the bicycle
They yell “now mommy, now”
But can you really say
It’s time to let go?
Off to school, their first time to date
High school graduation
Can you tell me yet?
Is it time to let go?
College education
Trials and tribulations
How will you know?
The time you’ll let go?
Marriage and divorces
Children and recourses
Tell me how I’ll know
When it’s time to let go?
If you are a mother
Then you will surely know
There never is a time
You will let go.
