Coming Of AgeA Poem by Alicia Hirshey
A
mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall
upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who
rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around
us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and
counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return
to our hearts. ~Washington Irving
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Blink once Little toes Big blue eyes Beautiful nose Handsome angel Years have sent Heaven herself cries The sight of it ~*~ Infant motions Learning to crawl Where are those days now I’ve missed it all Hair grows lighter Time outside spent Miracle of life Unfold from it ~*~ Little words Sound so sweet Come from your mouth Tiniest peep Joyously laughing Not knowing the struggles ahead Time spent wasted I should have cherished it ~*~ First notion Giant leap Little footstep Hard to sleep Wobbling and prancing You own it all Life has me cold You thaw my soul ~*~ Rock and roll band New man to call dad Losing sight Of what you once had Watch closely I’ll lose you on the street Hoping once To stunt the growth Life passes quickly Of this I know ~*~ Another year past Growing still as fast First day of school You know all the rules Taking in your surroundings Moving on with life Easy transition Until we have to say goodbye Tears stream down “He’s just overwhelmed” He’ll be okay by the first bell ~*~ Hallways are empty I sit down Eyes to dry Kisses goodbye It hurts more than most As simple task to show Falling apart I don’t want to see him go ~*~ Little words Sound so sweet Come from your mouth Tiniest peep Joyously laughing Not knowing the struggles ahead Time spent wasted I should have cherished it © 2011 Alicia HirsheyAuthor's Note
