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
