"Childhood Doesn't Wait"

I was sitting on a bench
while in a nearby mall,
When I noticed a young mother
with two children who were small.

The youngest one was whining,
"Pick me up," I heard him beg
but the mother's face grew angry
as the child clung to her leg.

"Don't hang on to me," she shouted
as she pushed his hands away,
I wish I'd had the courage
to go up to her and say...

"The time will come too quickly
when those little arms that tug,
Won't ask for you to hold them
or won't freely give a hug.

"The day will sneak up subtly
just as it did with me,
When you can't recall the last time
that your child sat on your knee.

"Like those sacred, pre-dawn feedings
when we cherished time alone
Our babies grow and leave behind
those special times we've know.

"So when your child comes to you
with a book that you can share,
Or asks that you would tuck him in
and help him say his prayer...

"When he comes to sit and chat
or would like to take a walk,
Before you answer that you can't
`cause there's no time to talk

"Remember what all parents learn
so many times too late,
That years go by too quickly
and that childhood doesn't wait.

"Take every opportunity,
if one should slip away
Reach hard to get it back again,
don't wait another day."

I watched that mother walk away
her children followed near,
I hope she'll pick them up
before her chances disappear.

*** The Image ***
Dedicated To Parents Everywhere!

I like the way that children see us
Our arms are always outstretced
like the father of the Prodigal Son
or the Saviour on the Cross.
No weapons in those spread fingers.
Nor fists on these arms.
I like the way that children see us.
We must live up to that image.

*** You Made Daughter a Wonderful Word ***
Dedicated To Parents Everywhere!

You made daughter a wonderful word,
no longer the daunting sound that I'd once heard,
full of doubt, full of don't,
a rhyme made for slaughter.
Now I hear the angels sing
when I hear the word daughter.

You made daughter a wonderful word,
like dolphin or laughter, a swoop of a bird,
a darling, adoring.
There's nothing I would alter,
for it's you that I think of
when I hear the word daughter

*** For Lianne, Aged One ***
Dedicated To Lianne, Aged One!

As far as possible, stay as you are,
with the eye clear and open
and washed clean of fear,
with the skin untracked
by the sad workings of the heart,
lips unskilled in spite.
As far as possible, stay as you are,
the morning's first light
cause enough for joy,
each passing face
judged only by the colour of its smile.
As far as possible, stay as you are.
Gaze out at the world
with it's mystery and noise,
but refuse all offers to join.
Be backwards in evil,
advanced in love.
As far as possible, stay as you are,
with the upturned face
and the open palm,
with the stumble of faith
and the shout of hope.
For such is the Kingdom.
