Why do you grow up so fast???

I savored each step,
to where you are now,
to where you want to be,
to how you want to be.
I felt each sigh,
each deep of a breath,
each whisper of the wind
through your hair,
your face,
it's life...
you are life.
It's been a while
since you were tiny
in my hands, frail but alive
like the breaking of dawn,
full of promise
of new beginning.
It's been a while
since I last sang you some lullaby,
the songs that you loved
that brought you to heights
and peaks of dreaming
and believing
that life has got so much for you
and me.
You are enough for me.
