Time Flies when Bubble Gum Sticks to the Carpet

Pitty-Pat on the cereal crunched floor.Crash! BOOM!
To silence…Memories of heartbeats�"of children snoring
Heartbreaks now... Where did the noise go?

From toddler, to teen Then off and away�"-
Fly like the wind Abandon the nest�"
fledglings fly Emptiness

Where did the time go?
The house creaks Missing the chaos
And bubble gum�"With music blaring

Phone ringing
beyond capacity…Where did the fun go?
Gone is the day of child’s play

Painting sails on the wall With white clouds�"
Peanut butter sandwiches�"grape dripping jelly
And giggles...
Where did
MY babies go?

My two are still little but I can just imagine.
Enjoyed this, thank you.

An inevitable consequence of parenthood, but you did a sterling job and I' m sure they will always love and respect you for that.......A touching poem, penned with motherly love, warmth and sentiment!

Sigh, I felt this one, not what I was expecting. Touching and clever! Adore the title too..
