The next thing you know they begin to wobble and fall. You teach them what s right and show them what s wrong. They re growing up fast. You can t keep them in shoes. The tender years are all gone just like old news.
High school is here, and along with it, the feeling of worry because of their independence.
Have I taught them what s right. I have prayed for their safety far into the night. It s all over now. They re mature and all grown. They re starting a life out on their own.
