Family

Ironically, this is a very apt first choice to add with my eldest off to University in a couple of weeks. Once I held you in my arms And dreamed a world for you Now you have independence But you need guidance too Different stages, different needs Each day a letting go This life we share together Still has it’s highs as well as lows A family is important No judgements will I make A niche to be yourself This promise I will not break Our dreams are still entwined Unconditional love can be found Our blood binds us together This is the thread that makes us bound  ©Shaz Goodwin Although I wrote this poem many years ago, I can't help thinking of Carole Matthews With Love at Christmas.  You can read my review here.
