I never thought it would hit me
Or at least not this hard
The empty nest feelings
Some days they overwhelm
I know in my head
She should have a life all her own
But I feel such a loss
By not being a big part of it
There is work, friends and the love of her life
Someday there may even be children
I just have to remember
She needs that space for her own family
To build that nest of her own
