Another ten seconds of joy.
Remembering my girls and my boy.
Their little hands and soft cries have disappeared.
Now they have become what I have feared.
Teenagers.
Please bring back my little ones.
When the days of joy had just begun.
My babies that I had to carry around.
Now it is loud music and clothes like clowns.
Teenagers.
They turn into adults and leave the nest.
My job is still not over but I can rest.
My memories will stay with me.
When they are all gone my precious memories will still be.

Poetry: Just a memory
I hear your footsteps as you walk
You take a deep breath of the chill air
I can already see the smile on your lips
As you
by Sharon Fulps
Just A Memory
I lift your favorite sweater to my nose stuffed up from crying
The smell of your cologne is what I'm
At five, she runs through the garden picking daisies for Mom.
By seventeen, she dresses in satin and lace for her senior
Your jacket no longer hangs by the door.
Your laughter is not in the air.
I don't feel your warmth beside me,
Or your lips
You used to be everything,
you were a part of my everyday life.
A quick hello before work,
and an array of messages throughout
