Please wait, don't go

I don't remember anyone, ever warning me about what pain would come one day. Being a mother can bring so many blessings your way,but when the kids are all grown up it brings such heartbreak and pain. You know you have to let your babies go off on their own, but you don't want to let them go. So you just pray to God and ask him to keep you out of harm.
[Chorus]
 My child I want you to know that I am trying to let you live your life. It's so hard to let you go off on your own when I have this aching in my gut. I can't help but feel that if you go right now something really bad is going to take you away from me. So forgive me my child if I come off wrong. I pray God will protect you from all harm.
[Verse]
 I know that I have not been perfect as a mother my dear. I pray that you will never leave me and cut me off the way your sister did you see. I don't know what I would do if anything bad happened to you and I never saw you again. That is why I don't want you to go right now because that's what will happen is what I fear! 
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro]
So my dear child will you just wait a little while before you go. Please help me relieve my fear, I don't think I could get through this life if I could not protect you from all harm. I don't want to ever lose you and my daughter or my friend.
