You gave me space
a time to breath
to help me realise
my thoughts and needs
Scared at first
I felt alone
yet after time
my thoughts became
my own
More and more
independence grew
my attitude changed
in everything I knew
The freedom you permitted
to fulfill your own
helped to shape me
my confidence became full grown
So when you returned after
your experimental time
I’d discovered thoughts and
desires that were mine
