DM Babbit Poet Rhyme

Yesterday's Children

So soon they slip away
   from new born babes cuddly and cute
   to wedding dresses and tuxedo suits.
If we could capture the moment
   when we saw them growing
   we'd teach them all they should be knowing.
Time doesn't hold still
   it speeds forward restless and unseen
   they wonder what took so long to get the adult scene.
The girl a woman, the boy a man
   independent and setting out to the world
   we watch dismayed they might be spoiled.
Soon enough we see
   they are strong and boldly forward make
   living life to its fullest with every step they take.
Cautious and suppressed
   we pat our backs in smiled success
   as they leave home to get their own address.
In our hearts we still cling
   to see them  as our babes in arms forever
   and  yesterday's children were our best endeavor.
