The Rewind Poem by delores noal noal

The Rewind



Our lives are on fast forward, speeding by so fast
There is no rewind button, to take us to the past
What I wouldn't give, to restore those early days
I would spend more time with you in every way
How many things have been forgotten, how many did I miss
How many times the day passed by, with only a goodnight kiss
Just yesterday you were a baby, all smiles and chubby cheeks
Now you have a daughter of your own it seems in only weeks
Often, times we take for granted, blend in to long lost years
The witness to my sadness, a pillow soaked with tears
Of course I am happy for you, living your own life
being a gentle mother and a loving wife
I still know what it felt like, to hold you close to me
And soon enough when you child is grown you will see
How much that rewind button, would have meant to me
