Memories

Watching serenely as they both traipse thru' Knowing how life without them would just never do, Cautiously I assess their haphazard games Mentally capturing memories 'tween frames, Recalling their births which seem like yesterday I grow forlorn for many long lost a day, With each passing moment my adoration grows tenfold I grasp in wonderment at my progeny like gold, I hope and I pray my health endures To proudly watch as my son matures, And to witness my daughter as she chastises her own for attempting the very thing that causes her to moan, How I applaud my mum for all that she has done The smacks,the warnings,the laughter, the tears, I thank her for each and every one
