An Empty Nest
Who wipes away the tears
as she calms my fears?
Whose hand touches mine
and makes it fine?
Since I need your care
time for you is rare.
There is so much to learn
it’s for love I yearn.
I need you to teach me
what I am to be.
just open the door
there’s a world to explore.
Some day I’ll tie my shoes
the same as you do.
Teach me right from wrong
as I follow along.
Show me how to achieve
so I can believe.
There will come a day
I will fly away.
Leaving an empty nest
just like the rest.
When it is time to leave
your heart will grieve.
