Nurture

Nurture
A life best enjoyed 
In simplicity and sincerity
In balance and composure 
Awaits the almost grown ups 

The 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 inside 
The 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 strengthening 
These can be forever 
Counted upon 
To help you stabilise 
To be pillars of support 
Even if in the background
