I’m so sorry that I grew up too soon
I wont be there for your sons and daughters
To watch their first smiles
To hold them close to my heart
And feel their tiny hands wrap around my finger
I’m so sorry that I have to be here soon
To savor the bittersweet taste of life
To hold someone else instead of you
And wait for the tide to toss me back
To the dream of not-so-far past
Where I can see you waiting for me
Wishing for the time to stand still
Trying to hold on to a season of me and you
Where there are no limits, no boundaries
Just the hand of Destiny.

Oh, Sheri this is so heartfelt. I can feel the anguish in every line. Maybe it's OK to befriend destiny and ask to please take you back somewhere in time where you wanna be...
Oh Sheri, This pulls at the heartstrings, it is an unexplainable feeling what it is like to not be able to be in a little ones life..I am not sure of the cirucumstance, but feel the ache.
love and big hug,

Filled with a deep sense of longing...this touched my heart, Sheri! I am a grandmother and I can't imagine not being there for my precious little grandson! I love him to distraction!!! A poem is truly well penned when it touches another's heart......well done!
