Babies We Rock

Little feet a button nose Chunky thighs and piggy toes Untainted by this day and age Sadly, it's not a lengthy stage Naive enough to remain serene Honest, pure, a beautiful green Why must the best things fade away Children grow and too often they stray Nothing we can do to stop the clock Time is not wasted on babies we rock

Hello Anna. Maureen McGreavy once suggested that I should look you up and read your poetry. I'm happy now to find myself reading your 1st PoetrySoup submission. WOW Anna you rock!!! To me the sadness is not the length of the stage BUT the possibility of what might fade & stray away. I never got to rock my son when he was young BUT now being with him, when I can, at age 22 he's an amazing drummer in a band AND man does he rock !!! Thank you for making me think Anna. Such a wonderful poem...

Anna: I think I'm newer than you. :o) I've read more poetry here in the last week than I've read in any week in my life. I suspect we are both "hooked" by this site. I can tell you as a grand dad of 10 your lovely piece brought tears as I have growing fears for our young folks today. (no rhyme intended) Reading to your kids is a gift no one can take away. From them or you. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insight. oldbuck

Very sweet pen Anna! Enjoyed your poetic piece dear friend. Sadly nothing stops the clock and they grow and yes, sometimes they stray too, but our babies are a blessing from God. A 7 from me! Wishing you a lovely weekend! In his light! God bless you! Love and hugs! :) xxx D.
