Children Grow…….

Oh how Moira has grown!  It was just yesterday when she was learning to walk and talk!  After her nap this afternoon, we went outside to run and play.  It was pure Joy to see her happiness as she enjoyed being  outside.  I found this poem titled "Where Do the Children Grow"…..I felt it fit the afternoon that I spent with Moira.

When you see a smiling face
Their happiness all over the place
Singing, laughing, cries of glee,
Come they say, Play with me
The slide, the swing, the monkey bars.
Look at them close to see who they are.
Lots of races, Ready, Set, Go.
This is how the children grow.

If you watch them everyday
You'll see they learn as they play
They'll do what they see, and say what they hear.
You're their teacher throughout the years.
Their ideas and thoughts in their eyes shine.
Imagination is a glimpse of their mind
When you're not looking, don't you know
This is when the children grow.

Watch them as they learn to walk
Listen to them when they talk
Keep them safe, away from harm
Wrap them gently within your arms
Teach them to share and how to take turns.
Set good examples from which they will learn.
At home, at school, wherever they go
This is where the children grow.
