In your hands
Lock them lovingly
In fiery forceful fists
Keep them comfortably contented
Let them bud, bloom, and blossom
With caring concern
Let them become
Strong and secure
Sunny and sweet
Let them be who they are
Accept them
Let them accept themselves
And their wants, wishes, and worries
So they can grow gracefully
Be all that they can
And finally leave
At the real right time
