He's sitting in my lap, <br />Having cuddles, <br />And playing with my hair <br />'hey... <br />you're getting so heavy! <br />Have you been eating bricks? ' <br /> <br />Giggles! <br /> <br />Then... <br /> <br />Flash! ! <br /> <br />Oh sure, <br />You come for cuddles now <br />But just wait <br />Soon you'll have friends <br />And then you'll be outside, <br />All the time <br />Playing soccer, <br />Or street hockey <br />Then you'll be driving a car <br />Then you'll be off to college <br />Then you'll be moving out, <br />On your own. <br /> <br />And <br /> <br />You'll never visit <br />You'll never write <br /> <br />Eyes welling up with tears <br />As somber thought hits. <br /> <br />But for now, <br />Let's cuddle <br />'Cuz after all <br />You're only three! <br /> <br />Giggles! <br /> <br />September 12,2006 (H.W)<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-been-eating-bricks/
