Stunning Growth

( a poem for babies becoming proper boys )

There is growth, growth
And more growth
The more you look, the more you see
And all I see is growth
The good growth
And the bad
My babies, becoming boys
Proper boys!
Their growth
Is my growth
And grow, they do
As much as I would love it to stop
It doesn’t
The growth keeps happening
So, instead of getting down
I accept and surrender
And live with their growth
Every inch, every mile, I am there
For I shall not miss one minute of this
Stunning growth
