I Set You Free My Love Poem by Britney Hogue

My babe,
You are my love,
But during these times,
I must set you free.
Release you
Like a captive dove,
Into the world
To find your own way.

Fly far my love,
High unto the heavens.
I will wait for your return,
But don’t take too long.
I pray my patients to hold,
Just long enough,
So that you will know
The trail to lead you home.

Don’t be afraid to go,
To leave me for the unknown.
For I set you free my love,
And if we are meant to be,
The path you find
Will bring you home to me,
And if you shall not,
It never should be.
