Some years ago I married young
I thought it was the answer
For me that kind of thinking was
As dangerous as cancer
We moved into his parent’s place
And start to build our house
But not so great for newlyweds
Who just took wedding vows
Our home would finally be done
New start for him and me
And then it wasn't long before
The two of us were three
The years went by; life going well
A boy and two girls now
But then I blinked and they grew up
I wondered when and how
It can't be true, how could this be
From babies to all grown
In five years time, all graduates
And all out on their own
Now once again, another change
I'd face in my lifetime
How could it be I feel so old
When I'm still in my prime
My family kept growing with
Two sons~daughter in-law
Then suddenly I blinked again
And I'm a new grandma
I'm loving every moment with
Six grandkids and my bliss
How could my days be better than
From each of them, a kiss
We all keep getting older when
I feel another blink
I'm soon the age my parents were
When thinking they're extinct
And yet this feeling's not so bad
It really could be worse
I count my many blessings 'cause
life won't let us rehearse
The love I have for family
More precious than a gem
I can't imagine my sweet world
Without each one of them
So with the changes in my life
There's wisdom when I think
Please wait a little longer, Lord
Before another Blink!
