Notes About The Poem

Today’s blessing is about our children 

and how time with them goes by so fast…

as I paraphrase the words of James M. Barrie

and a bit of wishful thinking…taken from the past.

 

Once you read the words…smile

as you let them rest upon your shoulder:

 

If we never put our babies to bed

they can’t wake up another day older.

 

BABIES

Today’s blessing is about our children 
and how time with them goes by so fast…
as I paraphrase the words of James M. Barrie
and a bit of wishful thinking…taken from the past.

Once you read the words…smile
as you let them rest upon your shoulder:

If we never put our babies to bed
they can’t wake up another day older.
