Analysis of Instill
It's okay to distance yourself from your children when they get their own families.
It's not that. You don't love them . You just taught them along the way
It's not that you don't need them . It's just you're not in the way.
It's not that you don't love them . It's allowing them to be happy their way.
It's not that you don't need them it's giving them room to do what you have done .
To apply the growth you distilled in them .
For what ever they didn't agree with it's time to do it their way.
So they may see the outcome
Of no one in their way.
Praying they always take God with them.
So he'd help along the way..
