Let My Husband Go

He went to summer camp, you went home – you let him go.

He went on his first date, you stayed home – you let him go.

He drove for the first time, you watched from the driveway – you let him go.

He went to college, hours away – you let him go.

He got his first apartment, moved out – you let him go.

You helped him grow into a man.

He fell in-love and got married. 

Your son is now my husband - please, let him go.

Let him go so he can take care of his house.

Let him go so he can start a family of his own.

Let him go so he can come back and say “Thank you, for all you’ve done”.

Let him go so he can make his own forever-memories with his wife.

Let him go so he can grow into a husband and a father.

Please, let my husband go.
