They say I’m too overprotective

 They say I’m too overprotective.

That I hover too much. Worry too much.
That I should let them go a little more.

But I’d rather be a cautious mom than a sorry mom.
I’d rather triple check. Hold hands a little longer.
Know exactly where they are and who they’re with.

Because this world is not always kind.
Because my heart beats in their little chests.
Because one day, they’ll grow up and I won’t be able to protect them the same way.

So while they’re still little, still mine to guard
I’ll be as overprotective as I damn well please.
