I let go.

I let go
Of my unbrella
To dance in the rain

I let go
of my baloon
to see how high it could fly

I let go
of my flower
when a bee flew out of its center

I let go
of my dog
when she passed

I let go
of my basketball
to win the game

I let go
of you
the woman who gave me my name

I let go
of everything
that ment something to me.

Sometimes you have to let go because time has changed what you loved so dearly
