Quiet moments of enraptured grace, A happy smile from woeful face. Erupted laugh which can't be stilled, All other thoughts completely filled. Fevered head in still of night, A mother's heart so full of fright. A tired smile come morning's dawn, Completely now all fear is gone. Frustrated moments, "Do you hear?" "Your grounded, though I love you dear." Proud moments of accomplishment, When finally he learned to pitch a tent. Each hair in place, she is a doll, She's dressed all up as for a ball. A gleaming smile, a fancy twirl, Then up a tree goes little girl. A bloody lip, a broken arm, A teary face so full of charm. A torn up knee, ten stitches counted, A second time that bike is mounted. Remember days of childhood bliss, For in my heart each day is stitched. In timeless love and memory, Each tear once wiped, each bloodied knee. The greatest gifts I've ever known, Are the little ones I call my own. |

This is a loving mother's tribute to her children. That was the greatest time of my life when my children were small.They grow up too fast. Love, Joyce |

I don't know what's more wonderful... your poetry, or to see your name on the blue pages again. Welcome back girl. You've been missed! |
