I want to
Be like a tree
Tall, strong and comforting
Let my kids come under my shade
And see their fears shattering
Let them enjoy my fruits of wisdom
ONLY when they are ready
Let me give them this freedom
Let them cool down in my shade
When it’s hot
And hug me tight
When in the storm they are caught
Let them see me stand firm in fall
Loosing everything
And see the hope
That it will be better in spring
Let me be that tree
But set them free…
When time comes for them to fly
Hesitate not, to say goodbye
Let them know
I will be there
If they ever need to come back
It will be fair
It’s okay to come
Rest in my shade
The love for them
Shall never fade
Soar high
Don’t fear the stride
There is someone
Always feeling the pride
Do your duty
Make the whole world bright
If it gets too tough
Come hold me tight
That’s the way
You will grow so strong
That generations will go
Without doing any wrong
This is the biggest gift I can give
To the world before I leave…
