Family is everything and this poem captures the essence and soul of what a true family is. I thought it was brilliant. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for your generous six star review! How incredibly thoughtful of you! Yes, family is everything & I make sure now to take every moment & appreciate it, because soon all that's left is the memory, but memories are precious too!
Once again thank you & God Bless!
Comment from dragonpoet
This poem of abcb quatrains tells of the circle of life. Also how fast life seems to pass by and change. I like how you say growing old is a blessing. I like how the emogi is blinking and that the lips are in the shape of a kiss.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Lol, Mr Dragon, you truly got this message as I feel that you've blinked a couple times too! Thank you for your kind review & encouraging words!

You?re very welcome on all accounts. Though it?s Mrs. Dragon.

Lol, ooops! Thank you Joan & I will make a mental note of that! 😊

It?s okay. You?re not the first to assume from my screen name that O was of the male persuasion. I don?t know why this happens.

Joan, did you realize that your punctuation is weird? When I first started writing here, mine did the same thing. If you'd like, I can tell you how to correct it.
-
Sure, that would be great,
Thanks,
Joan

I hope wi didn't offend you, but it was happening to me too' it's in your settings, under general, then keyboard & disable smart punctuation. At least you will stop getting a ? where your apostrophe was meant to be.

Thanks for your help

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I was nodding my head all through that, in a blink everything changes so fast and all of a sudden here I am with children grown up, grandchildren grown up, what happened to the time in between? This is a really wonderful poem for the 'Family' contest and I wish you the best of luck. Warm hugs. Sandra xx

Thank you Sandra, for your kind review & words of encouragement. "And then I blinked!" may have been a more & accurate title, as I was truly trying to show how entirely fast it all went since I got married. Thanks again & God Bless!
Comment from karenina
I can relate! I wonder how my children can be in their forties when just yesterday I was that age! I smiled through tears throughout your poem. Every moment is precious...
How they speed by!

Comment from Pearl Edwards
I could see myself in this one from young love to grandma doesn't seem to take too long when you are thinking back. But when we were young it seemed as though it would never happen. I enjoyed your 'family' poem, and wish you luck in the contest,
cheers.

This is a lovely poem. You have a wonderfully joyful way of saying things. Loved the line And then I blinked...So cute and a good way to put it...Time goes so fast...as you say in a blink!
