His life is unfolding
Just as it should.
Full of
Magic,
Mystery,
Adventure
And fun.
He is growing so quickly.
Slow down,
I keep saying.
I wish I could
Put a hold on these days,
And keep them
From going so fast.
I can't pause them, stop them
Or slow them down.
I can only be present
To enjoy them right now.
So I hold on tight
to each moment,
each day.
Enjoying the unfolding
Of his life
Of his life
Today.
Well said Kim :)

DeletePerfect words. The growing up fast part is a hard one, thanks for the reminder to appreciate the now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gretchen. I know, I am struggling with it right now as Reece gets closer to turning four...yikes!
DeleteIt is a beautifully sad part of life isn't it? I love watching them grow, but it fills my heart with a touch of sadness at the speed at which it goes.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all safe down there!!
It is Jennifer and that is the perfect way to put it. I do enjoy seeing him grow and change, but so sad to see it happening so very fast.
