21. Inside
Bottled up inside
Are the things I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read

How do I close the door to this space?
With my eyes filled with tears, my arms haven't the strength.
How do I close the door to this space?

When I first held you in my arms,
You were so perfect and so small.
You are a full-grown woman now;
And I am proud, oh how!
What has happened to the days?
What has happened to the years?
Please let me for one last time
wipe away your tears.
My little boy is growing
Getting bigger every day
I fear it won't be long enough
Before I have to say
Give mother a hug
Father a kiss
The time has come
We have talked about it
My life is changing.
The life that I've had,
It's changing forever,
But no need to be sad.
I don't know what you're going through,
But I hope you understand,
I'm just trying to be your mum
And give you a guiding hand.
There comes a time in a young girl's life,
When she begins to start growing up.
It's a time when you need to let her go
And trust that she'll take the right path.
I watch as she flaps her arms,
Pretends to fly.
With her optimistic charms,
Always asking why.
