On Loan

I've always been fully aware,

That you were only given to me on loan,

I also knew this day would be hard,

The day you decided to head out on your own.

I poured my heart and soul into my role,

Usually at the expense of all else,

For 22 years I put life on hold,

To give you the tools to become yourself.

I did the very best I could with all I had,

Always putting your needs first,

To be both your mum and your dad

You could have done a lot worst.

You recently pointed out my failures,

Mostly that I gave you too much,

I'm sorry but that's who I am,

And could never change that as such.

I can only pray that I have done enough

To help you succeed from here on out,

That I’ve given you all the tools to survive

But remember if you need me just shout.
