PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The time sure flies by

You’ve been gone for such a long time

First it was the first year

Now it’s already been nine



Seems like only last night

You were singing me lullabies

Assuring me things would be alright

Hushing my childish cries



Then my whole world crashed right down

In the half a blink of one eye

Now you’re no longer around

To hush me with your lullaby



Daddy, I’m all grown up now

A young woman moving on

But that child you’d remember

Is still inside burning strong



You won’t walk me down the isle

When I say my wedding oaths

You won’t hold my first child

And watch her first stages of growth



Daddy I’m all grown up now

And I need your lullaby

To dry the tears across my brow

And hush my childish cries
