Pitter Patter

by Sherry Lynn   Apr 12, 2008


Pitter patters of little feet
no longer run beneath
little ones now grown older
home nowadays seems so much colder

where did all our time go
from whence they first said hello?
wishing once more for preschool years
even missing their nightmares

soon they will each move on
one by one they will be gone
alone at last I shall be
never forgetting; yet, reminiscing
pitter patters of little feet

    I let my mum read this, she said that soon as i go off this is exactly how she will feel and she said that you have got it down to a t, and not to change a word off it :)

    i love the pitter patter thing i always think its such a cute pharse.
    i think you could make it longer, expand it it would definitly be worth the read.
    its a pretty poem, a sad one but a true one which many mothers throughout the world will share in.

    This is my favorite p oem of the day. Absolutely. So much truth to it. And, it's almost beautiful to see imagine the children and so on. Even the nightmare part makes me smile >_<

    Remniscences of childhood are so sweet that one always feels nostalgic about them. You have so beautifully captured then in this poem. I am reminded of lines from Wordswoth:
    THERE was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
    The earth, and every common sight,
    To me did seem
    Apparell'd in celestial light,
    The glory and the freshness of a dream.
    It is not now as it hath been of yore;—
    Turn wheresoe'er I may,
    By night or day,
    The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

    The rainbow comes and goes,
    And lovely is the rose;
    The moon doth with delight
    Look round her when the heavens are bare;
    Waters on a starry night
    Are beautiful and fair;
    The sunshine is a glorious birth;
    But yet I know, where'er I go,
    That there hath pass'd away a glory from the earth.
