Hopes

Seeing the world through your children eyes,
watching their anticipation of the days to come,
wishing you could put them in a safe cocoon,
hoping that they make it through disappointments, joys,
......and the next curve ball that is thrown their way.

Knowing that I was once their age with the same hopes and dreams for the future. Each day I say a few silent prayers that they love life as much as I do, live life to its fullest and find the kind of happiness that I have found in the past three decades.

Growing old...watching your children mature is one of life's blessings (and curses).
