Small old toys

Small old toys

Few torn pieces

Reminds the baby smell of your hair

First few steps

Of a tentative toddler

Giant steps in the proud parents' lair

Happiness galore

Listening to your first utterances

Everlasting memories that stay

When the nest is empty

And when the memory rules supreme

Makes the dull days bright and gay

We know the rules

Don't you worry ?

About the modern living and all that stuff

We are modern

In our ancient ways

We know the "Letting Go" without a huff

I worry for you 

My darling child

Will you be as bold then ?

I pray for you

That you get strength

To bear the possible pain

As the rules day

As old as are they

Whatever goes up comes down

When you reach our age

And when your nest becomes empty

Will you be able to bear it without a frown ?

I got a thought

For all the parents

Here it is, two pennies worth in all

Stay close to the child

And the toys

Bright memories of these days will keep you tall.
