A haiku for children leaving the nest – as my eldest is about to start college.
Haiku
Mama bird, don’t cry.
She will spread her wings and soar,
just like you taught her.
When the storm clouds come,
she will know the winds to face—
trust in your teaching.
And when she doesn’t,
you will be there, guiding her,
hand in hand, always.
