Fledged

Readying for the dorm days

Reminded of the diaper days;
Shedding tears of separation
Stating that as gratification;
Would have done the same, yet
Wanting to go back for better;
Wanting, wishing, yearning
To hold the baby, a little longer
To make more time together
To avoid the mistakes
To prolong the cuddles
Yet
It's time and it's always the right
So assure love no matter what
And let the wings spread wide and far!
