fly away, but not too far

at a certain age we're done
with children.
we love our own,
but it's time for them to go.
we've done the best we can
with them, but now
we need the room.
the space.
the silence.
the bathroom, the kitchen.
the car.
fly away young birds,
we say in our mind,
but hoping that it's not
too far.
