Such a major turn in your life
Finding a place of your own
Signing a lease to start next week
So exciting to begin apartment living.
Suddenly a long held thought becomes reality
Parting from the embrace of our roof here
Ending the many years we have lived together
Now this transition opens the way into the future.
Such a loss for me so very sad to see you go
Knowing it is right and good for you to move out
Though our shared time enjoying this daily life is over
Leaving me with all my sweet memories of a younger you.
Our relationship has become ever more wonderful
From wanting the very best for my child
To receiving your adult love and respect in return
Then let what comes next be even sweeter still.
