A poem from a mother to her daughter. 
It seems like just yesterday when I held you in my arms
And looked at your little face
Now I can’t even lift you up for a closer embrace
You’re so tall now sweetie
Wasn’t it only days ago that you sat up and crawled
Now you’re running at the malls
Zigzagging here and there not afraid to fall
You love skipping and singing little one
It makes me happy to see you happy like this
You talk a lot now too compared to your first word “daddy”
We cherish you right from the time you were a baby
You like to choose your food now dearie
That is fine because I know you are growing up
It is a lot better than those days
When you pushed out every food we brought your way
You can do so many things on your own now darling
Read and eat and draw and bathe
When once upon a time we felt anxious during separation
While it took almost a year for your toilet education
My sweetie pie, you have still a long road to travel
But I hope that each step you take
Is filled with happiness, joy and laughter
And all the love that we can give you from now till forever after
This one was written as a reminder to myself to spend more time playing with the kids. Time waits for no man. With kids, time lost can never be regained. At the time, I wrote the following little excerpt at the end of the poem as well. I remember I placed many pictures of little ones on my Yahoo Geocities page then and I had inserted the Forest Gump music on the page.
Moral of the verse: Play, read and talk to your children TODAY while they still want you to!

Oh! How wonderful it is to love and receive unconditional love from the little ones.

Every person is an individual first before they are a wife, mother, daughter, sister, father, brother, son etc. Everyone needs to recharge and take care of themselves from time to time. If you don’t love yourself and take care of your own needs, then how are you going to love others?

Learning to let go at every stage of parenting is not an easy thing. It is a fine line, loving but not loving too much.
