How To Let Go

I learned how to stand Before I could crawl. I learned how to fight When I couldn’t move. I learned how to find hope In the mist of dispair. I was told to love through the hate. I was taught to laugh When tears choked my soul. I learned how to guide a helpless child Through the minefields of life. I learned to show them the Wrong from the right. So many things I have learned. Things, through trial and error, That I was taught. But of all the knowledge I have gained, One vital piece eludes me. How do I now let go? How do I step back and allow Another to take the care of what is Most precious to my soul? What do I do when the dawn breaks The first morning after you are gone? Where will I get the strength to watch You leave with the biggest part of my heart? I have never learned how to let go.
