Turn Around.....

I sat and watched our bucks eat their supper yesterday

remarking how quickly they have grown.

Newborn Fred

Newborn Skip

Newborn Smoochie

I can remember each of their births....as if it were last week.

And now, look at them....grown up and fathers, themselves.

Surely, you must remember this song....

Where are you going, my little one, little one,

Where are you going, my baby, my own?

Turn around and you're two, 

Turn around and you're four,

Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door.

Turn around, turn around, 

Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door.

Looking back on baby pictures...even of the goats,

I admit, makes me a wee bit nostalgic.

Today....I woke up thinking...

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was a child?

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was in college?

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was a young mother?

Wasn't it just yesterday that my precious little ones were children?

And wasn't it yesterday that they were in college?

Yesterday....I am sure that it was.

But today I find that my children are grown,

I am a grandmother,

my grandson is standing...ready to walk.

Will his childhood pass as quickly as his mother's?

Will he be in college tomorrow?

Will he have his own family tomorrow?

Tomorrow....I will wake up an old woman.

(Well, maybe not tomorrow, literally...but figuratively!)

Life passes so quickly, for sure!

The important thing is making each moment count....

enjoying each moment for what it brings.

And, if you have a dream...making that dream reality today...
Tomorrow comes so quickly!
