By Larry Chamberlin, 23 February 2015
There are so many things
you will stumble over
as you forge ahead
without me into the future.
Life deals heavy blows
and doesn't wait until
you are ready for them -
usually just the opposite.
You must have the freedom
to discover these sorrows
though I'd like to shield you.
How much less you'd be
if I asked you to give them up
and stay sheltered in my arms.
