Past, Present, and Future

Eager eyes

That hide in the past,

The perfect size

For memories that last.

Listening ears

That hear a parent’s wisdom,

The perfect age

To wonder what it meant.

Childish mouth

That speaks of the future,

The perfect sound,

Turning their thoughts to her future.

Their eyes watch the child

As she watches the present and the past,

Their ears hear her feet

As she waltzes, held fast.
