Notes About The Poem

Premiere Contest WinnerPlease Do Not Hurry To Grow Up

Please do not hurry to grow up,
innocent days will pass like dust
in winds of time both swift and sure.

Bring me one more dandelion,
I'll make a wish for you to stay
within my heart if near or far.

If your laughter I could capture,
I would keep it locked in a safe
and bring it out on rainy days.

Innocent days will pass like dust,
bring me one more dandelion~
please do not hurry to grow up!

Bring me one more dandelion…poignant…kids, grands…they grow up and change. I like your thoughts of capturing the innocence. Perhaps I need to watch the family video but still that changes nothing. Hugs…love this!
