I turned around and you had grown up. <br /> I wondered where the years had flown? <br />Where were the golden curls and dimples <br /> the chubby hands that I had known. <br /> <br />Those sounds of joy, both tears and laughter <br /> my children’s voices on the wind. <br />When did my babies leave my bosom, <br /> so their adult lives could begin? <br /> <br />It seems like yesterday I'd dress you <br /> brushing your hair, holding your hand. <br />How all those years passed by so quickly, <br /> seems I will never understand. <br /> <br />So please be patient with your Mommy <br /> if she sometimes holds on to tight. <br />To her just yesterday she rocked you <br /> and kissed her baby girls good night. <br /> <br />I turned around <br /> and you had grown up… <br /> <br /> for my girls, , , <br /> July 1995 c.d.m.<br /><br />cheryl davis miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-turned-around/
