Once upon a memory, I drifted to the past. Caught up in the moment, Time goes by too fast. You were my tiny babies, It seems like yesterday. Over your cribs I hovered. Thank you, Lord, I'd pray. And then all of a sudden, Toddlers you became. You got into everything. I loved you just the same. Then off to school you headed. I cried the very first day. My babies are growing up, And my hair is turning gray. And now I sit here lonely. No toys are strewn about. No children's voices laughing. My hugs? I do without. I knew that I would miss you. We knew you'd miss me, too. Sometimes I get so sad I don't know what to do. That's why I wrote this poem. It's a token of my heart. It represents my feelings While we are apart. I love you more than ever. I miss you terribly. But have a happy summer, And come home soon to me.
Reason for writing:
Missing my children while they were visiting their Dad for the summer.
