for momma <33

Watching her float away, like a small leaf on a stream.
Her little baby all grown up setting goals she will soon achieve.
Shes off to the real world where she'll be on her own.
Off to a place with obscure things, with someone else to hold.

Feeling all alone and empty, like she lost a place in her heart.
She knows her daughter wont forget her while they are apart.
She sheds slow tears as her broken heart tries to mend.
It feels so hard letting her go; knowing she lost her best friend.

Sitting all alone in her empty room atop of her old bed.
She lays down on the pillow where her daughter once put her head.
Looking all around the room, the walls seem to scream her name.
They also want the girl back that used to make up her own games.

She knows her daughter will come back for one visit or two.
Sometimes she'll come home happy, sometimes she'll be blue.
All she knows is one thing, that they'll never be far apart,
Because she'll always love her little girl from the bottom of her heart.
