University drop-off

A small figure waves goodbye                         Freedom beckons
As I drive away                                              He turns to start a new life
I weep, sobbing all the way home                   Shedding tears of joy
The end of an era                                          The start of something amazing
How can I leave him?                                    Glad to see us go, finally
Alone in his room                                          His door open to new friends
18 years of love and care                               Now away from home
I’ve abandoned him                                       No more Mum’s fussing
