When You Grow Up

(Perspective of a Mother)

Your blue eyes,

Your button nose,

Your small fingers,

Your little toes,

You were a bump, inside of me,

Now your just this little thing,

I stand in front of you,

Watching you grow too,

The way you laugh,

The way you cry,

It makes me love you,

Love you till I die,

So here we are,

You moving away,

I find myself,

Wanting you to stay,

But you won't stay forever,

You'll come back another day,

So I will understand,

I will comprehend,

But I will always wish for one moment of your little self,

Just one moment of you again,
