The Parting



The Parting 

The time has come to dip your toe 
In the Ocean of life, 
So swim strong,
My love
Just go! 

The time has come for grown up things, 
Of love and strife, 
My love 
The reality that all of life 
Brings! 
  
The time has come to leave the nest, 
Our loving bond, 
My love
Always to remain,
Intact, whole, 
Blessed! 

The time has come
My love, 
To learn to fly, 
Leave the ocean say goodbye, 
Grasp at your dreams 
Reach for the sky! 

  The time has come to say goodbye 
  To innocence of  childhood 
  So soar high, 
  My love 
  Just fly!

  The time has come for you to fly, 
  Go my love ,
  Turn away now, 
  Don't say good bye 
  Allow my tears to flow, 
  Allow me to 
  Cry!
