Time Is Precious

A laugh, a cry,
A hug, a giggle,
A smile, a heart,
A twinkle, and a tickle,
Those things I miss,
Like the little child's kiss,
As time goes by,
How I wish I spent more time,
Reading to the child a little nursery rhyme,
Fun time, sad time,
The time seemed to fly,
Like an airplane speeding a long the bright blue sky,
The child's joy is now a memory,
Her smiles and kisses,
Are now a legacy,
The joy of being that child's caregiver should have been really cool,
But you know what?
At least I know now that the little child is now growing up and
going to school.
