When they fall and you can't catch them
You fall much harder
But they will never know
You get the tears and throbbing in your chest
lumps in your throat
and become even more helpless then they feel
Watching because it's not your place
or your simply allowing them to grow
Watching them watch you watch
Taking in their anger and frustration of the fall
You try not to enable them preparing them for life
They want and need indepence, but its a journey
made for one
Hopefully they will forgive and understand what must be done
To love is pain
To learn is pain
And so we choose our battles
And we pray were right
We do this so that one day
they can bring themselves the same pride they bring us
And we watch them fall, because we know they will get up
We watch them fall because we must.....
If only they knew how hard it is to watch........

Sometimes the best thing to do to help someone is just to let them have the experience of life. People often think It's the easy way out of helping, but its definitely harder to hold yourself back. If we enable them.... We are the reason they don't learn to get up.
