There comes a moment, a day, a turn of calendar’s page
That feels like all the world should wait awhile
To be
For in the marking of the day there simply is a rip and shred heard in my heart
That childhood is no more.
That you just grew, we knew you would
But tell me not to grieve and I will tell you
It feels like all the world should wait awhile.

On the first of the month for several months I am joining Tweetspeak Poetry, spreading some sweet words around with wordcandy.me. You can too. Would you like to come along and taste and see some delicious words. There is a bowl full of choices to wrap and send. Just so sweet and lovely there.

That touched my heart, Thanks, Elizabeth
Oh Laurie, thank YOU. That means the world to me. Can’t believe its been eighteen years.
That childhood is no more…love this line ~
When we were younger, we want to grow up so fast ~
Sadly now that I am older, I want to slow down the time ~
Beautiful, Elizabeth. My oldest son just signed with a college basketball team. Your words are very timely. 🙂
Thank you Lyla. Yes this is a bitter sweet season for sure. And congratulations to your son for his achievement and this milestone in his life. Know you all are pleased and filled with joy 🙂
Wow, friend. This is powerful in its brevity. I read it several times and stayed for a while in it. And my future mama’s heart hears yours.
