Array ( [sid] => 176390 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Little girls grow up [time] => 2013-06-28 01:08:17 [hometext] => a very beautiful young lady I considered my daughter just had her first son today [bodytext] => I was never blessed with children of my own.
I always had a flock around and with me though.
The other mother yes that was me
watching her grow, proud as can be.

Playing dress up, bandaids on scuffed knees
happy smiles, and sometimes some tears
but no matter the moment, love it lasts.
Tender and sweet, how the years have flown.

My sweet little girl with blond hair and eyes of blue
now a young woman, today now a new mommy
a son of her own, I send butterfly kisses on the wind
A few states away, that's all I can do
heart beats and happy tears all for the two.

How fast the time has flown, not a little girl anymore
she grew up!

so proud of you Nikia! Love you [comments] => 4 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 54 [informant] => shelby [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => happypoetry )
