Fast Forward
Though childhood seems so long ago,
Now decades in the past,
My time since having grandkids
Has been flying by too fast.
From reading picture books with them
All cozy in my lap,
To building blocks and rocking them
To settle for a nap,
Somebody must have hit “fast forward.”
Now the months race by
And they’re so busy with their lives,
But I cannot deny
A part of me will always miss
Their younger days, although
I’m lucky that I’m still around
To watch them as they grow.
