I still remember the moment you came into my world,
So tiny, so perfect, my boy, my pearl.
You are a piece of me, my life, my pride,
The one who taught my heart how to love wide.
And now, here you stand, a young man so tall,
Ready to face life’s endless call.
You’re leaving our nest, chasing dreams untold,
Into a world where I can’t always hold.
How do I let go, though I know I must?
When every step forward feels like breaking my trust.
The protector in me wants to keep you near,
But the mother in me knows your path is clear.
Take my love with you, wherever you go,
It’s in every hug, every lesson, every “I told you so.”
But promise me this, when life pulls you far,
Remember my voice, no matter where you are.
Call me often, share your joys and pain,
Let me be the umbrella in your stormy rain.
For you’re not just leaving, you’re taking my heart,
But my love will be with you, though we’re apart.
