This, to you, my not-so-little darling;
My poetically framed love letter
To an ever-changing young woman in the making.
Oh, my, how quickly time is flying by...
Sometimes I cannot believe how you have grown,
Are growing--right in front of my eyes.
You are beautiful, you.
Darling Girl, with perfect smile
And laugh and spirit. I adore you.
There are moments that I stare at you--
For as long as I dare without your noticing--
And I realize, even as I do, that you have changed again.
Again?! Oh, Time, please slow for me!
Just even a moment here and there,
So I can breathe and pray and give thanks--
For these moments, so swiftly they race by--
I cannot hold onto one! (Though I'll die trying.)
You are precious to me, dear one. I love you with ALL of me.
