Where does time go?

You used to be so tiny,
So delicate,
So small.

You used to need me to nourish you,
So dependent,
So beautiful.

You used to fall asleep on me,
So easy,
So sweet.

You worried when others held you,
So overwhelmed,
So off-beat.

You used to want me with you always,
So attached,
So in-tow.

You need to tell me little one,
Where does time go?

You have grown so much,
So big,
So long.

You no longer want me to feed you,
So sassy,
So strong.

You no longer fall asleep on me,
So independent,
So done.

You’re ok when your with others,
So social,
So fun.

You no longer need me always,
So brave,
So solo.

But I need to ask you little one,
Where does time go?

I used to be so fresh,
So naive,
So behind.

I used to read everything,
So anxious,
So blind.

I used to compare myself to others,
So unhealthy,
So lame.

I used to worry about my image,
So unrealistic,
So vein.

I used to care what other people thought,
So pointless,
So high/low.

I need you need to tell me little one,
Where does time go?

I now feel more experienced,
So learned,
So mature.

I now read nothing,
So trusting,
So pure.

I no longer make comparisons,
So refreshing,
So real.

I now appreciate my body,
So important,
So the deal.

I don’t care what other people think,
So empowering,
So whao!

So let’s just figure this out little girl,
Where does time go?

You have changed so much in one year,
So spectacular,
So great.

I remember meeting you,
So life-changing,
So worth the wait.

I too have changed.
So grateful,
So blessed.

I struggle to remember life before you,
So distant,
So much less.

It has been an awesome first year,
So wonderful,
So full.

May we continue to grow together,
So exciting,
So cool.

That’s where time goes little girl,
So it’s clear,
So now we know.

It’s important we cherish every moment,
So come on,
So let’s go!
