Letting Go of Our Children by Andrey Dementyev

Do not be offended by the children that

they did not come, did not call.

Do not be offended by the children that

they forgot to give flowers.

They have their own earthly life,

we did not know such a pace,

their high-speed train rushes

to another life, to other distances.

 

Know how to let go of children,

do not cling to their express train,

know how to let go of children,

they have other interests. Stop your

slow-moving crew

for a moment,

let your children fly into life

in the chosen direction.

Accept them as they are,

and if you can, help

the fast train to get on.

Get out of the way in time.

Try to understand them with your soul, to

wave after them at the station.

And do not try to catch up by

getting up early in the morning.

Love your own children,

do not hold offense, do not hold anger.

Love your own children,

cherish a place in their heart.

After all, we are much wiser than them,

and every hour of communication is dear,

do not be offended by the children,

but give happiness a box.
