Please don’t leave me alone to remember you
You grow so fast that suddenly you are out the door.
At times it felt like time dragged on through
But looking back, your life was nothing but a blur

Holding your small little body for the first time
Looking into your large eyes and realizing you were mine.
Watching you anxiously; afraid that you might break.
Not knowing what to do when you cried was more than my heart could take.

If you were sick, I didn’t sleep.
If you were sad, I too would weep.
I wanted to teach you so many things
But you flew off on your own wings.

I wonder now if I failed you in this life.
I hope you are stronger than I was in the past.
That the world becomes kind without strife.
And know that I loved you first and last.
This was inspired after watching the new anime movie "Wolf Children." I cried so much after watching this and I can only write when I'm depressed.
