2 Little poems about my kids

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker
if they didn't. ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams


~SAYING GOODBYE~

To say goodbye does break the heart
When from the home, children depart
The need to hold them and protect
Will NEVER cease......as they expect

Each goodbye cements the pain
With smile forced and tears of rain
Turn back the clock....or make time slow!
And wish they'd never have to go!!!!

Years flash by so very fast
When did they grow...bemused....we gasp!
My boy, a man, yet still a teen....
Were these past 19 years a dream?

Women who miscalculate are called mothers. ~Abigail Van Buren


HER CHOICE

Oh! How I love you little one!
You light my spirit like the sun
Into my life, so unexpected
I was the vessel you selected

When you recall your heavenly days
How on moonbeams you did play
When looking down to earth you found
My heart light shining from the ground

She told me..........

I picked YOU, Mom, to mold my life
To be your child, to raise me right
To be my anchor and my guide
And my comfort when I cry

I love you my baby!
