Monkeying around...

Amazing people they've become...

When my babes were little tiny things, I had to do so much
They couldn't dress themselves, brush their hair or wipe their bums.
So many days I spent exhausted thinking "You'll never make it through,
because there's one, two, three, four, five of them and only one of you!"

Each day they all grew a little older,
Time flew by before I knew.
And gone were the days of diaper bags,
No more strollers or baby food.

As the years went racing by in a whirlwind it sure seemed,
Memories of these baby days became more and more like a dream.
I remember kissing baby toes and nursing each one tenderly,
Oh the sweet days that now exist only in my memory.

I realize I can't turn back time and live it all again,
So in my heart I'll tuck those days away and always remember when,
My days were filled with belly laughs and silly toothless grins,
Story books and dress up clothes and bikes with training wheels.

One by one the days will come and I will share with them,
The fairytale that's been my life since the time my babes were young.
I'll open up my heart to them each and every one,
And proudly share my precious memories with the
Amazing people they've become.

To my children, who from the moment they were born, have been the center of my world!

Love, Mama
