Nurture
A life best enjoyed
In simplicity and sincerity
In balance and composure
Awaits the almost grown upsThe doors are now within reach
The excitement is to be savoured
Choices to be made with a smile
While the butterflies tickle you
On the insideThe nest that once was
Is now a net
With your mother’s lap
And your papa’s arms
And all the other bonds
They spent a lifetime strengtheningThese can be forever
Counted upon
To help you stabilise
To be pillars of support
Even if in the background
