Lovely words by scottishmomus.wordpress.com.
you’re younger yet and life holds full its promise
and I would not deny you all its claims
nor ever harness hopes or all that they hold
nor ever seek to squash the fire that calls your name
and I would not withhold from you each wishbone
that comes your way, upon which you may dream
nor burden you with harsher truths that years taught
I’d never blot the landscape of young life or all it seems
I have no aspirations to encumber the joy you know
for I, too, once believed the dreams you cherish and you hold
I once believed that all I sought was there for ripest taking
if I were, like you, courageous and so bold
I’d never take away your youth nor hope diminish
by word or deed, the dreams we share, though altered, still unchanged
I cannot be the one who says the no…

You know, that’s so true. I had the whole gang here at the weekend and, although two of them have left home, they still need all the love and support they had when at home. What families are for.
