'Missing how it used to be' is a very effective repetition in this touching poem. Very good reminiscence moms and dads can relate to. Well done.

Duane, thank you for saying that about the repetitive line. It was an important element for me to use. And thank you for your lovely review. With regards, Sue

You are a talented wordsmith. The meaningful narrative had me hooked from I to be. Look forward to reading you work always, although I don't always review.

My daughter Miranda specialized in doe eyes! LOL
You're bringing back great memories - I have a huge folder of those hand-made cards my kids made me :-)
From devilish to delightful - that describes my little ones too - moms sure have a bond with other moms :-)
By the way - I love the word "rumpus." :-) Brooke

HA!!! Don't they each have a specialty! LOL!! One of my sons was a master at being the "silent stirrer"...he could start something with the other boys, but when asked? He would look so puzzled about it all. HA! Thanks for saying you like the word "rumpus". I really love when someone comments on one. Thanks so much, Brooke....Sue

Oh how I agree. Being a grandma sort of makes up for losing the kids, but I don't see as much of the day to day joy that I did as a mom. Great poem.

Hello Sixteez.
I think these poignant feelings are pretty common to mothers of all ages and under various circumstances. It is beautifully written, and I very much enjoyed your talent once more. Fondly, Rebecca

There's a saying, but I don't know how both can be done at the same time. "Keep your head down and your chin up."

HA! I'm such a big kid with all my children when we all get together. Even though we're "grown-ups", I can tell you we haven't lost our senses of humour. So much fun we have. I love the way you said that your building your library. It's going to be a big one! And you will always be a big kid with each other! Thanks for your great review. :-)) Sue

Comment from jshep
You have said it so well, Sue. It is never quite the same once they leave. Great meter and flow and sentiments. 'And missing how it used to be'-this line made me laugh as it made me think of many of the things I no longer miss, but then mine have been gone for quite awhile. Great job and felt the pangs of almost empty nest. Joyce

You expressed in your poem exactly how I've felt about my children and missing their little sticky hands and grimy faces! With them all grown up, it is just too quiet! Great job!
