Door

I wrote this in my head about life,love, letting go, and holding on.

Bus comes at 6 am
Gotta watch for her, listen for him
Waiting for a little while
To send her with a hug and smile
Growing but still so small
Not so hard,but not easy at all
Words that will stick with me
Now and all eternity
"mama don't shut the door,
'til I can't see you anymore."

The tears linger in my mind
Off to school,leaving me behind
To wait until it's close to three
When my little girl comes home to me
So I sit on the porch
And I won't shut the door
'Til she can't see me anymore

I'll wave and tell her once again
I love love you,see you later and then
I sit a few moments more
Watch her disappear beyond the hill
It's time to close the door
But I sit there still
Because I can't see her anymore.
