Before it Melts
Kiley WalshBefore it Melts
Building blocks,
stepping stones,
banana splits,
and ice-cream cones.
Wagon walks
for sweets and toys.
Feels like yesterday,
we shared this joy.
Fast forward time,
new wagons loaded,
your dreams of toys
have been promoted.
Dorms, degrees
and friends away.
Time, like ice-cream,
melts away.
Your turn to decide
one scoop or two,
from the nest I’ll watch
with pride for you.
Vanilla or strawberry
or a chocolate shake,
You are worthy of ALL
The dreams you make.
