sweet child.

Tomorrow you start a new phase in your life.

It feels like a little goodbye.

Your little hands couldn't be trusted upon me. That is sad.

But I know you'll be better that way.

You'll learn all sorts of things.

Maybe tomorrow you can tell me about them with your candid words;

I'll be so proud of you

Even if you are not mine

'Cause I love you so much

Tomorrow, at this time, you'll enter a new world

But you already had a glimpse of it

And you took it in stride

All confidence and curiosity,

You remind me so much of another sweet child I love.

Tomorrow, at this time, I'll be worried about you

And I'll be wondering if you feel lonely,

If you are crying, if you're scared

If you are hungry for a familiar face

I'll be wanting so bad to go to you and rescue you from my imaginary worries

Tomorrow, at the end of the day

I'll want to know all about your conquest and your success

And all about your tears and your fears

I'll long to hug you and tell you I'm so proud of you

That you're a brave, sweet child

That no matter how many others have done it already,this time is unique and especial,

Because it is you

So many quests await you,

So many journeys to take,

So many paths that'll lead you away and closer

So many wonders to discover

I wish I could be there to see you fly, to pick you up if you ever fall

From where I stay I'm worrying at the same time that I cheer for you,

I'm scared because the world is a scary place at the same time I know you'll be just fine because you're strong

Have an amazing day tomorrow, sweet child.
