You are no longer in my custody. Eighteen years have passed_ In my eyes, You are still five. How seasons varied You changed along with them. I no longer guide your every step, Nor do I cook your meals Or choose your path. Now I watch from a distance_ As you learn As you fall Sometimes you smile from your mistakes Sometimes resent them You are your own guardian now, Creating your own destiny And I, Shall be around When you need me Know that. However tall you are ; How far you go You are still my little angle You become your own patron I am growing older Sitting quietly in this house, Learning_ I must now guard myself. Remember_ You were once mine I am still yours

Guardian
You are no longer in my custody. Eighteen years have passed_ In my eyes, You are still five. How seasons varied You changed along with them. I no longer guide your every step, Nor do I cook your meals Or choose your path. Now I watch from a distance_ As you learn As you fall Sometimes you smile from your mistakes Sometimes resent them You are your own guardian now, Creating your own destiny And I, Shall be around When you need me Know that. However tall you are ; How far you go You are still my little angle You become your own patron I am growing older Sitting quietly in this house, Learning_ I must now guard myself. Remember_ You were once mine I am still yours
