Dear Joey…The sun was shining today It made me think of you How you used to like He-man, rock-lords and scooby-doo. I remember how I Introduced you to nature day You liked the worms and the snails You cried when they went away. You liked to play with the dog Squishing your feet in the mud You liked to pick the dandelions To smell the rosebud. You loved to hear me sing to you (Believe it or not) We both used to make up ghost stories (Or have you forgot.) You are growing up so fast Changing a lot too But remember wherever you are I’ll always love you. The sun was shining today It made me think of you My world is brighter with you in it A little warmer too. ©May 12,1996~CJB~ |

I am only 17 and can't talk from first-hand experience of my children growing up too fast (in this day and age, thats a good thing!) But my friend of 11 yrs has 6 kids (whew!) and I watched them all grow up! Some are old, some are still babies, *sniff* but I remember when I used to help change some of those diapers and sing them to sleep. It'd be unfair to my friend and myself if I didn't vote for this poem. "I'm sorry for telling u love was unnecessary... making u lose ur way. I'm sure I'll be as sad as u feel." ~Touch and Go |

Wonderful work, MB! My parents feel like this about me..(or so they've said) and I suppose I will feel like this about my children someday. Heartfelt work and I'm voting! *Krista Knutson* "We are not seperate from spirit, we are in it." ~Plotinus~ |
