Precious children of my heart I share these words with you Of pride and admiration In everything you do. It wasn't so very long ago You needed my tender care Now the time has come to pass My memories with you I will share. As one gets older we go back in time Remembering so many things Like the happy day that you were born Oh what joy that wonderful time brings. Your very first day of school my child I cried the whole day through Sitting on the door steps Watching for the school bus and you. Your very first date and that infinite prom You just grew up so fast Then over night you were ready To graduate at last. Years went by the time soon came When you were on your own With someone you loved, a family, And sharing a loving home. Oh yes, my child how proud we are Your accomplishments have surpassed Our expectation of where you were And where you are at last. God bless you and your family Beautiful memories our gift to keep And may the things we taught you Be your bountiful harvest. © Ginny Bryant Used with permission Please honor author's copyrights by seeking permission first before using this poem in any way.  To reach author, click on her name above.       JOIN MAILING LIST   Midi playing ~ "As Time Goes By" Original composition and © Bruce DeBoer Used with permission   Main graphic ~ Sharon's Creations Used with permission Created exclusively for LED  Brought to you by Living Each Day © 2003-present, Adelle North, All Rights Reserved
