When the time was right,

You emerged from the safety of my womb

And began your journey.

 

When the time was right,

You left the safety of my arms,

And began to discover your world.

 

When the time was right,

You rushed from the safety of our home,

To find your own path, your own destiny.

 

But time turned against you, against me,

There was no safety.

And you stepped out of this world.

 

Out of time, out of order,

I hold only memories, safely and forever,

In my anguished heart.
