   I was looking through my diary from when Caitlyn was born and i found this poem, then thought to myself ....hmmmm , who should i subject this master piece onto ? and i thought, aha! the gals on Ohbaby :-P 

sorry ....

My Dear child

I offer you my hand

I will not grab a hold of yours

Because you are not my pocession

but a gift

But you shall not grab a hold of mine

Because that will encourage dependance on me

Instead we will reach for the others hand together

And then , i will walk with you along this journey in life

There may be times when you grip my hand harder

And i will let you for as long as you need

Or there may be times when you need me to let go and let you face life on your own

At these times i will quietly slip my hand away

Step off your path and watch and wait from the sides until you need me again

I will not lead you

It is after all,your journey , not mine

But nor will i follow behind

Because you are my child and i must protect you

SO instead i will walk beside you

Hand in hand

Guiding when you need it

Stepping back when you need it

And walking with you, down lifes road

together
