Letting Go
By: Lori Stockwell Smith
2004

Little baby growing fast
We knew this stage just couldn?t last
It would soon be in the past
With those precious first steps

His eagerness made it clear
That this moment was finally here
And as his father waited near
And he stretched out his hands

I let him go
Then I saw the look of joy upon his face
Letting go
It?s a bittersweet moment to embrace
But I know that life is just a story of holding love close
And letting go

She looked like a princess there
A white gown with golden hair
I just had to stop and stare
My little girl had grown

Her gentle hug made it clear
That the moment was finally here
And as her prince waited near
He stretched out his hand

So I let her go
Then I saw the look of joy upon her face
Letting go
Is a bittersweet moment to embrace
But I know that life is just a story of holding love close
Then letting go

As I saw him lying there I knew the time was near
Just couldn?t imagine life without him being herer
But a love was waiting that was greater than my own
With arms stretched out wide to welcome my dad home

So I let him go
Then I saw the look of joy upon his face
Letting go
Is a bittersweet moment to embrace
But I know that life is just a story of holding love close
And letting go
