Awwww this is so beautiful...i am too young to really know that feeling but what i imagine it would feel like is just how u described it. Great write! ^_^

Cindy,
This poem moved me immensely. I have a nine year old boy and, as early as it may sound, I can already see exactly what you're talking about; that little boy is leaving him slowly but very surely.Wonderful.
All the very best,
Ben

Hi Cindy/ Ben,

This is a lovely poem. A dedication, a snapshot if you like, a parents view on their child's childhood. I wish as many parents do that at we could freeze that time, or at least have it back again. We relive our childhood though our children and then if we are lucky enough again with our grandchildren.

My son is 14 and I sway from wanting his independence and wanting his child form always. Time will have her way as always. Grandchildren for me then...

An enjoyable write and I thank Ben for highlighting this one to me.

Take care,

Michael x
