The Greatest Time Of All Poem by Audrey Heller

When our children were small, it was
the greatest time of all. Don't you wish,
you could go back again? It's a time
we'll never forget, as it still lingers on
yet, it's wonderful to recall. Those were
the happiest days, having your children
close at hand. It was a warm and cozy
feeling, but I'm sure you understand.
Somehow, we thought time would stand
still. We never paid attention, how fast
time really goes. It certainly was a crude
awakening, when your child came to say,
'look how tall I am and I'm not even
standing, on my toes'! It made you realize,
nothing stays the same. It changes before
you know. That's the way of life and it's
time, for letting go!
