EMPTY NEST
THE NEST IS EMPTY, HEART IS FULL
I REMEMBER WISHING FOR THIS DAY
NOTHING LIKE I THOUGHT
WATCHING THEM MOVE AWAY.
THEIR PATH'S TAKE THEM HERE AND THERE
AND I APPEAR TO BE ALONE
THEY KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF DOUBT
HERE THEY'LL ALWAYS HAVE A HOME.
I COULD HAVE TRIED TO KEEP THEM
RIGHT HERE CLOSE TO ME,
IN MY HEART I KNOW IT'S TIME
TO LET THEM PURSUE THEIR OWN DESTINY.
I'VE LOVED, TAUGHT, AND TRAINED THEM
TO PREPARE THEM FOR THIS TIME
THOUGHT I WAS PREPARED TOO
ONLY IN MY MIND.
IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEIR LEAVING ME
BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE
THEIR LEAVING, JUST LIKE THEIR GROWTH
TAKES THEM TO ANOTHER PLACE.
I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THEM
AND DO WHATEVER I CAN
I FIND COMFORT KNOWING
IT'S ALL PART OF THE MASTER'S PLAN.
