For my son, Talon....


Your fourth birthday’s coming up
my little guy is growing fast;
your baby days are over,
they didn’t seem to last.

Your little hands are bigger
your legs are getting long;
your hair is getting thicker,
your body is growing strong.

It didnt seem that long ago
when you were just a tiny thing;
crying all through the night,
until your bottle I would bring.

It didnt seem that long ago
when you started to crawl away;
back and forth in the living room,
getting faster every day.

It didn’t seem that long ago
when you (finally!) started to walk;
and your cute little babbling,
turned into chatty talk.

Now you just get bigger
with every passing day;
needing me less and less,
doing things your own way

I like to imagime sometimes
that maybe, just maybe...
no matter how big you get
You’ll always be my baby!



You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore

Dear sweet Bethy; This so wonderful, and I can't believe my baby grandson is 4 already.
Beautifully written, darling! Love, Mom

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Oh Beth, This is so beautiful.  Definitely written from the heart of a Mom.  It sure brought back memories of my "boys" when they were little.  And dear, you don't have to imagine....even at 6 foot, he'll still be your baby.  Simply beautiful poem.  Bonnie

A delightfully wistful poem
full of mom's love.

A mom's heart will always rock the cradle!

Lady Lost,
  A wonderful poem about your child, They grow SO fast, DON'T BLINK, you'll miss too much! I know from experience!

When the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance

Beth,
  Unlike my brother Dennis, I don't know from experience as a father like he has - nor your experience as a Mother like you have.  But I do know of the tender bond which transcends time- and how fleeting my own life has been.  Cherish the moments-- and God bless Talon on his birthday & beyond.
