Third Birthday

Three years old today

his mother should be impearled

“Seems like only yesterday”

I watched him enter the world

 

But he’s just a baby

he’s says he’s a big boy

soon to be a teenager

grown-up child with a toy

 

Life has it’s moments

he’s growing so fast

hard to keep up with

storing memories that last

 

And where have I been

to busy coming and going

to involved to be there

to see him while he’s growing

 

“Big moments in small lives.”

I remember his Grandfather said

“relish the special moments”

and then he nodded his head

 

Take time away from your busy day

Make the time if you must

Don’t let these moments slip away

vacant memories turn to dust

About Sailor

Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course). Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................ This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525 Please read: "Proprietary Rights". ............................................................................................................. Now, to continue with "About Me". I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. .............................................................................................................. I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
