| TO MY CHILDREN |
| Where have all the years gone, How did I let them slip by me? I thought I had all the time in the world, but I didn't see. ~*~ My son has grown to be a man. My daughter has become a wife. But it seems like only yesterday, It was I who was planning their life. ~*~ I blew their little noses I kissed away their tears. I told them bedtime stories. What happened to all those years? ~*~ You have your children around you. And turn to other things as they play. But don't turn around for too long, Or they'll be grown up and on their way. ~*~ You will have missed the homemade airplanes, and smudgy Valentines. There will be nothing left of their childhood. How you'll miss "Will you be mine?" ~*~ For there's nothing any dearer Than a little hand holding tight, Or standing there waving, As you're driving out of sight. ~*~ But soon you'll be standing waving As they go on their way. To live their lives the way they want. Leaving behind memories of yesterday. ~*~ Oh, where have all the years gone? What happened to those babies of mine? I turned around a moment too long, And now they've crossed the grownup line. ~*~ Love, Mom Author: Ann Mahaffey |
