Description
Sometimes I feel like
Somewhere down the line
We ended up in separate boats
The tide is coming in
And we are drifting apart
I know you are not a child anymore
That you want freedom
Freedom to fly on your own
Freedom from me
But I promise you
I don’t want to keep you on the ground
I want to watch you fly
Fly to places
I have only dreamed of
I just don’t want you to forget me
When you get there
You are my love
My youngest is almost 18 and of my 3 kids he is the most independent. There is a part of me that thinks this is a good thing, but there is a bigger part of me that already misses him. Do 48 year men get empty nest syndrome because something is going with me lol. The days drag but the years sure have flown bye. This is not exactly what I had planned for my 700th but it hit me pretty hard today. Randy

Yes they do, however we've been 'trained' not to show it... Great work!

Happy 700th Randy!! And yes I guess they can get empty nest syndrome.....no matter how old you are it can be hard thinking about where the time went and how you miss them being young....miss them being there with you and not realising that they are adults now with lives of their own, just as we were when we were their ages...Makes me think of what our parents felt like when were no longer there.... Sending you a big warm hug all my best Anne!!!

Que tradução poética fantástica deste sentimento meu amigo, digo isto pois a cada um dos 4 filhos que sairam em busca de seu proprio caminho bateu-me no peito este sentimento que traduzes de uma maneira perfeita neste poema. Brilhante, aplausos (5)...parabéns pelos 700ª That fantastic poetic translation this feeling my friend, i say this because each of 4 children which clambered in search of his own path beat me in this sense that a perfect way traduzes in this poem. Bright, applause (5)...congratulations by 700ª
