Learn to Let Go

I'm holding this picture - You drew when you were four - It was one we proudly hung - On our refrigerator door - I found it in the attic - In your old dresser drawer - By a pillow that we made you - And a blanket that you had - When we learned to chase the monsters - From underneath your bed - And I remember - How I learned how to hold you when you cried - I learned how to let you be strong - Learned how to calm you in the dark - Learned how to listen with my heart - I learned how to watch you grow - But how will I learn to let go - And when I walk in your bedroom - The memories that I keep - Are bedtime stories - And rocking you to sleep - And as I held you - You'd drift off to dream - And I know it might sound crazy - Now that you are grown - But yesterday still feels - Like the day we brought you home - And I remember -
