Leap

Two year olds leap
before they look	
DADDY!
replaces gravity
then writhe laughing 
from your arms
AGAIN!
I’ll always catch you
for these moments
pass too soon.

Brings back memories, you are right they pass all to quickly. Now I have to wait for grand kids.

Thanks - grand kids can wait for a bit - but at least you can send them back to their parents.
