I've lost my precious little girl She was here one minute and then gone In her place a stranger did swril This is the start of her happy song Baby teeth going, beautiful smile filled in A child's face being transformed to adulthood Her eyes hold a look that say "I will win" Even when she can't foresee all she would Her chubby little body takes on a different form And all ready isn't pleased with any of it Smiles, frowns, slaming doors, different every morn Looking in mirrors,love, hate, calm, throwing a fit Her feelings are either up or down, no in-between Laughing at herself then crying the next minute Flitting around on happy feet then stamping & feeling mean Energy to burn or sleep all day, running or just sit Her hair just so, washed 6 times in one day "I washed it last week, its fine can't you see" She is to old to cuddle yet sometimes wishes she may No longer a child, knows everything, can't learn from me I can't let her know she will always be my baby Grandma's little girl to watch become a woman She has her dreams & they will all come true, maybe Trials, lessons, win, lose, but trying is no sin |

My daughter is 8 yrs old and I'm so not looking forward to that......and then again I am in a way. I'm sure you understand that.  She will no doubt be a beautiful woman, as I can tell your daughter is! A wonderful write! |

dreamkeeper, this is the most difficult time in a females life. Your 8 year old will need you and not need you more than at any other time in her life. Scarry, right? I wish you luck. Thank you for your kind remarks. |

This same thing seems to be happening to my daughter ... I didn't know it was a common trait I guess there's hope |

I had two daughters who managed to grow past eight. Now in their twenties, I wish they were eight again!! Really enjoyed this walk down memory's lane. Thanks. Kate Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. T S Eliot |

PrincessPout, our growing up will be 10! Such an old age to be no age. And I know what you mean by wanting that time back. Thanks for the answer. ME |

This was precious...I wrote a poem called I think Parents vs Grandparents, and I did my dues on the first one, so I am enjoyed being re-hired as Gramma. They change so fast, you have to really love them and reinforce that you are there, but stay out of the way! That is the hard part. Well I have been there, so I know what you are going through, and it is different between your children and your grandchildren too, gets even more scary. Oh but I loved this poem, you sound like the kind of Mother and Grandmother every single child should have! ~*~A poet is someone who reads more than they write ~*~ |

Mysteria, thank you so much. You have said ONLY the truth. I wonder how all my peers made it through my child-to-woman-years.I can still remember my brothers and their "acts of kindness". I may get even yet!! Butterflies, my kid, I can't believe it is this hard when you were such a joy at that age! LOL Just had to say that. Love and hugs, Mom |

M_E, This was absolutely precious!! It is never easy, but hopefully she'll grow out of it like we all did!! Best of luck to you. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

the tittle puls me in, as it have touched my heart allready, oh how I know these struggles so well....and being a part of them when they becomes older. unfortunally I lost my daughter to a stranger. And I wrote my first poem trying to deal with the pain. http://charisma.freehomepage.com/sad/heartpain.html But for you I hope that you and your daughter will always find each other in every way through happiness and struggles of life. Take care, and thanks for sharing these wonderful poem. Charisma |
