family park day
a walk through the neighborhood
to the mini park
up and down the slides
crawling up through everything
up and down and back
watch out dad I’m here
coming for you, oops I fell
Dad kiss, all better
Pick me up Daddy
help me do the monkey bars
mom stands back and clicks
Monkey laughs and laughs
days like this, precious moments
record them, treasure them
soon they will be grown
mom and dad will be burdens
instead of playmates
spread your wings and fly
we will catch you if you fall
kiss away the hurt
set you on your path
stand behind you when you go
you, two dreams come true
you have a knack for all sorts of writing!! that was beautiful, as usual…and, so true. from playmate to burden…thankfully, as of right now…i’m not a burden but, my 12 year old daughter is starting to get embarrassed when i give her a kiss in public!!
have an awesome day!!
This was so sweet!!!
Beautiful, Rachel. I know the day is coming when I am not the center of their universe. But for now, I am enjoying it.
Beautiful, heartwarming, uplifting…all those things…
Thank you.
