It amazes me how fast grandchildren seem to grow compared to children...or is that just my imagination?

Yesterday Yesterday I held her gently in my big arms She was just a wrinkled ball of pink Yesterday I took her for a ride in her stroller She thought it was funny dropping her toy Yesterday she held unto my finger she walked Magic first steps at my side Yesterday she called my name when she fell And I held her and kissed the owie away Yesterday I watched her ride her first bike Hid tears when she fell and broke her arm Yesterday I seen her sitting in her classroom But still wanting me to stay close by Yesterday I saw her being the star of a play Proudly I passed her a red rose Yesterday I was at the finish line when she ran a 5K race Hugged her when she showed me her medal Poppy wonders what tomorrow will bring…

Very nice, Fee. I like it.

If your imagination says time is moving faster these days, we've probably both been traveling down the same road.

I posted a vaguely similar poem a few months back, titled I WATCHED, but it was about my son rather than my grand children.

Nicely Done, Dick
