I watched you grow
How was I
To ever know
That when you left
You'd take my heart
It stays with you
When we're apart
It seems like an eternity
Between the times
You're here with me
I miss the days
When you were small
Now I hardly see you
Much at all
A treasured card
Sits in a frame
I've kept them all
They bear your name
The cards are special
You can see...
...But it's "YOU" that means
So much to me.

Happy Mother's Day!!!!! if it makes you feel any better, i have my kids and it still doesn't feel like a mother's day weekend! =(
My mother kept all my cards and I kept all my son's. Very touching poem.... We hope you have a very special Mother's Day!!
Awww. I know I'll be feeling that way one day soon so I'll try not to complain about them TOO much while they are still around.
Happy Mother's Day!
I do so relate to those sentiments. It's so hard to let them go. I miss them terribly!

thats truly beautiful....
one of my worse anxieties is when my son gets too old to spend time with me..
Awesome poem. I like the smidge of Jewish guilt thrown in.
Slyde, enjoy them while you can. I relate to your anxiety. They do grow up and get lives of their own. *sigh
Thanks for stopping by!
OH - that made me cry! Can I go up to school now and get my daughter out early so I can hug her?!
Awww, how sweet. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. My mom kept all of my cards over the years.

Charming's Mama, Thank you and thanks for stopping in.
Well done, Ms A. I feel the same way about my kids. Except when I want to strangle them.
