I Cannot Live My Children’s Lives For Them

I worry too much- I don’t trust enough- I imagine and imagine beyond what I should- I am too involved When they are already old enough To make their own decisions, And when they have for years now Been doing what they do Without asking me. I am an old man Who worries too much I care about my children very much I pray for them- But perhaps I should just let go A bit more- I am an old man who worries too much And should trust more- But given where I come from And what I have always been I doubt I will be able to be much wiser Than I am not now.
