Sweet Memories
Sweet memories
Sometimes when I’m with my kids who are adults now
I catch a glimpse of yesterday in a smile or knitted brow
The little face I fondly kissed appears and then it’s gone
Just like a memory remembered in a song
An inflection in their voice like an echo from the past
Conjures thoughts of their childhood days when time flew by so fast
The hands I held protectively still look the same to me
That once held dolls and model cars wear rings of matrimony
These flashbacks are so precious when they do occur
As my life moves on now often in a blur
Looking back I give thanks for the gift of motherhood
Those happy days I’d revisit if only that I could
