Daughters

A Poem by ChocolateAddict
"

Isn't it bittersweet to watch your children grow so quickly?

"
Little fingers
Baby hands
Tiny footprints in the sand.
Rosebud mouth
Downy hair
Time flies by, it isn't fair.

Potty training
Big girl bed
Silly little things you've said.
School shopping
Big kid clothes
Silky hair just grows and flows.

Young girl crushes
Lunch with friends
Childish things are at an end.
Getting taller
Grownup bed
Rosebud lips are painted red.

Watching you
Is bittersweet
I miss your little baby feet.
But keep growing
Little girl
You'll still be my little pearl.

Unfortunately for some, despite having a mom, sisters, and kids, this particular feeling in a woman or the looks in her eyes have never been witnessed up close and personal...so believe that this appreciated more than you know.
Thanks for the sharing

This is so endearing and describes the tune played on out heart strings as our babies grow. Everyday I try to remain aware how precious my time is with them. Great write Choc.

Love this.

Like flipping in a photo album.

Might change the "watching you, is bittersweet" line, seems redundant. The whole poem is bittersweet, and that line causes a break. Not sure if something else would improve or not.

Amazing poem.
