Not willing to let go, holding her so very tight
Unable to put aside my worries and fright
If she were to die this moment, I would be deserted and alone
To lose this wonderful person who was part of me, my soul's clone
Is it wrong of me to cling so tight to this life, in my selfish pursuit
To ignore my feelings, to make my mind and soul inhumanly mute
Am I selfish to want to keep you to myself, jealous of the light that touches you
Should I allow this world to know you, to let the joys and pains through
As you sleep, I see you dream, of a life, a future of your own
So as you dream, I will give this world to you, to make your home
It pains me to let you go, but I fear that to hold on will cause only pain
I must let go, before it is too late, before there is too much strain
My only hope is that you never forget my love or advice, through times good or bad
Forever I will love and watch you my child, I just hope that I have made you glad...

I was trying to imagine what it would be like to be a parent, this is what I came up with, I'm sorry that the quality of my work is slipping, lol I appear to be losing more sleep than normal
