“My Goodness How Fast”

8/6/16

Difficult to believe just yesterday
held her in the palm of my hand
she with her tubes mixed with mine
sang to her ‘Child of God’ quietly
then an Irish lullaby bit off key
she’d come early able to meet me
her friend born the day before
now she’s 14 years old today
watching her grow and play
how much more is in store
the whole world able to see
an athlete and loveliness to be
her movement deftly and quietly
high mountains able to climb
she’s now able to hold my hand
Corinne’s 14 seems just today!
