Where Did You Go When I Turned Around

Where have you been, I've missed you so You were only this big now look at you go now you're 4 you're not 3 like you were before now you're 5 oh my gosh how does this work, how can you soar like a bird high up in the sky when I'm not looking your 5 feet high you're too pretty you really are you look like somebody on tv like a movie star where's that chubby baby where did you go you are going out on the town and with boys you are beautiful at your prom I am such a proud mom then you go off on your own and I of course feel all alone I have what they call empty nest where I have a lot of free time and the rest I don't like this, you're away from me I can't rock my little baby I have to let you find your own way cut those apron strings and you can fly and say mom, "I'll still call you it's not like I've left the country" but to me you are way far away to a foreign city I still love you to the moon and back and always will you will always be the "baby" and if you are ill and if you need me, just call me, I mean it I'll be there in a minute you are part of me and I'm part of you we will always be as you will see together

There is a sweet message here in your poem, Faith. I can relate, having two sons who have moved across the country from where we live. It's hard to adjust to the empty nest. Your words were well written. Thanks for sharing!

Oh My Goodness, you have complimented me once again! You are such an Angel my Dear.....You don't have to do that. You take so much time away from your day, Sugar. Don't think I am ungrateful because that is far from the case. Thank you, you special Angel and God Bless You for real from the bottom of my heart!!!
