~The Shortest Journey~

The sweetest moments to recall,
stay locked within our minds . . .
those moments with our children
(by far the sweetest kind)



To see our children learning
and growing more each day
these moments are so precious
and too soon they slip away



We hold the memories tightly
and time does not impair
the bond between a mother
and the children in her care.



It seems before we know it,
we blink and they are grown . . .
from childhood to adulthood;
the shortest journey ever known.
