All You Can: Chronicles of a New Mother

You know the time you enjoyed so dearly,

and due to life you moved on,

only to return and find out,

the place you once knew it to be,

is no more.

Highschool graduation.

College campus.

Home.

The teacher isn't there,

and the poster is nowhere,

to be found,

the faces you don't know,

and the places you'd say you'd go,

but you're there.

and the smiles that you shared,

all those memories,

are now,

different,

older,

wiser,

no longer a let's play,

it's a now "see you soon".

You see the time that has passed in your mothers face.

You love her ever so more now than you did

in the past.

ungratefulness.

it shows now in your heart,

you feel it,

that,

you where now.

I am grateful now.

however now its too late,

the time is gone,

so make sure you live today.

Love all you can,

before its all gone.

Daddies hands all bent into shapes,

all the meals he done gave,

the shelter that he built,

all out of love.

Now it shows,

that,

which is on his hands.

Blessed rock hard hands,

know I am grateful.

So now it's my time to do and enjoy this sweet child now before the time flies and your baby flies also.

It will happen so I must enjoy it all now.

Love ,

love it all you can,

the cries,

the pouts,

the shouts,

the smiles,

the hugs,

the cute crinkles on the face,

the correction,

I am grateful now.

Love,

Love it all that you can

today.
