A child clutches at her father's finger,
Her hands held firmly by her mother.
A woman wants her man's ardent arms
Wrap her in strength and loving charms.
A man seeks in his woman's bosom
A space for love, peace and inspiration.
These little bonds of love and affection
Keep us tied in complete satisfaction.
But alas! One day we may come to know
That we've to loosen the clasp and let go
Our loved ones as they grow up and find
A nest for themselves and leave us behind.
