Growing Up Contest

Gather me closely as I grow Remember there's so much I still don't know Only little for such a short time Won't always want your hand in mine Independence will change this bond Needing you won't last too long Gather me closely as I grow Unsurpassed joy to know my child Parental love, from beginning ~ beguiled

Your works are always very highly artistic. This acrostic on growing up too one of such. Congratulations!

A fine acrostic, DD. We grow up so fast but we're still someone's child:) I like to think that a part of the child is still alive inside. Excellent read!

Thanks Danny - I don't need to look too far for my inner child, I've never lost the playful streak. Thanks for your comment - I've enjoyed seeing your comments peppered about. I remember how encouraging they were when I first joined.
