Sometimes Alleluia

You’ve heard it many times It goes by fast Sleepless nights disappear Pick-up and drop-offs are no more Messes are not left Chatter becomes just silence   You hold space for your children In a different way now You worry they are safe You want them To make good choices To have you be a part of their life Not in an intrusive way But, in a way that lets them be who they need to be To grow how they need to To fail and get back up To entrust them to a higher power   It goes by
