Once a Tiny Child

Once A Tiny Child Where once a tiny child walked upon these wooden floors now only wee shadows waltz swiftly through the doors. Finger prints are wiped away with Kool-Aid grins and tears where once a tiny child walked and quickly disappeared. Packed away in attic trunks their teddy bears and toys where once a tiny child walked dear little girls and boys. Time will never take away the memories that remain where once a tiny child walked to make me smile again.

I did not realize this was a quatrain until I went back to the top to see. It is the truth in every way; and amazing how fast those little ones leave your nest. Wow! Great job!

Oh, boy, as a Mother and Grandmother, I know the feeling. With my grandson, it's a plus. Because he made shot videos of himself starting at age 4. He is now an AllStar in Little League, those videos are hysterical. Toys? Yes, I can relate to you. Loved your poem.. A FAV, should be a POTD, Susan! Hugsm Panagiota
