The time has come I must let go,
Your fingers grip my hand,
As one by one I set them free,
Pain locks in iron bands.
The day long seen in coming,
In course of time arrives,
I prayed I may have courage,
When the time came for goodbyes.
Go forth my precious darling,
Its time to let you go,
Make us proud as you begin,
To flourish, bloom and grow.
As you go into the future,
And make your place on earth,
Know that you have been our joy
From the moment of your birth.
We watched and we protected,
With tender loving care,
We now give you our blessing,
As we send you with our prayers.
Be not intimidated,
Refuse to compromise,
Let faith and perseverance,
Be your ever present guides.
Our every thought a blessing,
Our every prayer a plea,
That you stay firmly rooted,
In the Holy Trinity.
