I'm holding this picture
You drew when you were four
It was one we proudly hung
On our refrigerator door
I found it in the attic
In your old dresser drawer
By a pillow that we made you
And a blanket that you had
When we learned to chase the monsters
From underneath your bed
And I remember

How I learned how to hold you when you cried
I learned how to let you be strong
Learned how to calm you in the dark
Learned how to listen with my heart
I learned how to watch you grow
But how will I learn to let go

Maybe you can, or you can't. And you just have to learn to let go. You just have to...

And when I walk in your bedroom
The memories that I keep
Are bedtime stories
And rocking you to sleep
And as I held you
You'd drift off to dream
And I know
it might sound crazy
Now that you are grown
But yesterday still feels
Like the day we brought you home
And I remember

Thus explains why I like this song. Learning to let go is not just a lesson for lovers the sorts, but also parents. When I witnessed how hard it was for some parents to entrust their kids going for their first field trips last Friday, I thought wow! So this is parents love?? Should I witness God's love, it would be unspeakable of how hard it is to see Him learn to let go due to our bad choices...

Well, whatever choices the other side made, I believe it's not always to their best favor, or it is, known or unknown. I know it is not easy to learn to let go of the feelings/things we don't want to let go, but if we could only understand what true love really is, then letting go shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps, it should be learned with an understanding smile and best wishes!
