Little One You are only 8 years old And already so bold Dress-up, crayons, tea parties and fun Please don't grow up, my little one Now at 14, you have so much to do You are opinionate, and act like your life is through If only you knew, it's just begun I wish you still were, my little one At 26 we don't hardly speak Engaged to a man you met last week You're tying yourself down, there's nowhere to run You grew up so fast, my little one 36 and your life is through I wish I'd have known, was there anything I could do? I'd have taken your place, could it have been done? Where did you go, my little one? |

I really like this poem, but may I ask a question? What happened at the end? MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |

This is lovely, I also want to know the ending! Love and hugs Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Alicia this is pretty powerful. How quickly they grow up and away. Even into adulthood they remain our "little ones". |

Powerful poem here, I really liked it. I'd like to know the ending too??? ~Jenn~ "Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaves a flower, but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, and Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down today, nothing gold can stay." Robert Frost |

This poem was written for my cousin, in my aunt's point of view. The poem was read at my cousin's funeral, and I didn't know how to add it, but my cousin died in childbirth. Hope, Alicia A. Renzelman |
