Wanderings and Ponderings of Children a Mothers Memories

I've treasured memories like purest of gold Which are pondered in thought as I am growing old Of my little children a long time ago And the questions they posed, they just wanted to know Of animals, bugs, and of toads, snails or slugs Of fabric and string, Oh! Can we make a rug? And of funniest words that they found simply absurd And of people and places of which little ears heard. Who, when, where? What?! Oh, Mommy how? And why? Why? Why mommy, aren't we allowed?! Of questions, this mommy had heard Every day As the children discovered through their world and play The seashells from the wonderous sea The world, their university And thus this theme which now I ponder As back in time my memories wander

When I look back, I too find a hoard of memories heaped in my mind about my children when they were young. How I wish those beautiful times had come back. With the volley of innocent questions they put one after another, I used to feel impatient amid many responsibilities and no time at hand. But now when the house has fallen silent, how I wish they were around with those questions. Enjoyed your poem dear B.J

My dear and loving, BJ, I know that during this time we are so busy being parents and taking care of the household that it is easy to dismiss our children's questions "for more important stuff". But a loving mother like you would not overlook the instruction part and pass it down for generations. Good thought-provoking poem.

I like the rhyming of this one and the creativeness. Children add so much to a home and to our lives when we think back about things they said and did. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Dear, BJ, another fantastic poem reflects on the cherished memories of a mother as she recalls the curiosity and innocence of her children during their formative years. It emphasizes the importance of childhood questions and the exploration of the world, portraying these moments as invaluable treasures.

Memory trinkets are the best! I think I need to travel back in time through my old photographs. I think I need to remember when the kids were little.
