May the stars carry away your fear and sadness
Hold on to what is good

I feel him pulling
Moving away
Gently he slips
In directions
Opposite me
Testing his wings
Determined and courageous
The look in his eyes

My little boy
Always my baby
No matter how
Far from me
The universe
Takes him
Of typical concern
My own human flaws
Hoping my guidance
Has properly prepared him

Witnessing his spiritual pain
She wonders if she can save him
Through loving and supporting him
Will it ever be enough
When the world is so cruel
And he suffers from its touch
She’ll succeed or die trying
Either way she’ll give everything
Because she believes
Because she knows
Loves him madly
With her whole heart and soul
From the place of desolation
In which he now dwells
The [...]
