 Swiftly, rivers run Faster still, our children grow Shadows on water |

Yes, they certainly do, don't they... Makes one feel a little vulnerable when we look at them growing, knowing we are not any younger....hoping we have given them what they need in their lives... |

Karilea The mother in me has a hand out, holding each by the belt loop, to keep them from falling into turbulent life...the woman in me is proud of their spirit. Loved this photo and poem. |

Sunshine - yes, they are like shadows, here today, gone tomorrow. Makes one feel as if they are getting more mature... BC |

Our children do grow fast as rivers flow. We can only help them steer clear of rapids on the river of life... Paul |

Karilea, This is one of the better haiku poems I have ever read. Though, honestly, I rarely understand most of them, they're so vague. But, this one I understand. thanks for the thought... Jason P.S. I only wrote one haiku, ever, and it was to explain why I never do them..... numbered seventeen they are just simply too few to say all I feel see what I mean???......

Yes, yes, yes, great analogy. And when they are grown and more out on their own, it's as though they have slipped through our hands like water. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Flowing water in a stream, is that you there? Play in the river casting the shadow. I like the short style and way it says so much. P. |

It seems that you drink deeply of the rippling too, Karilea. I'm moved by these words."I fall into your arms." |
