it was though just yesterday
when I used to hold your tiny hands
as we walked down the stairs
oh, how you confidently
let go, while others cried in despair
for not wanting to
as days became weeks
and weeks became months
I barely noticed how years flew by
‘cos every moment with you
is a loving moment
of memories to keep
of how our world used to be
until the last days of my life
I never leave you behind
never alone
for you, I will adjust my world
reorganize my life
and dream the dreams
you dream
but my child,
our world has changed
and I have to leave you alone
my heart bleeds
and I am lost
lost of words
remember your dream is my dream
and your hope is my hope
for that, I will be home
soon…
