The Ultimate Thief
Tiny handprints on my window glass, crumbs on the floor,
Do I want to clean them off?
No, I just want more!
Toys thrown around the room and stools at the sink,
These are for my little ones; precious, don’t you think?
Diapers in the closet and a pack-n-play set up,
I always need to be prepared. I just bought a sippy cup!
Then they crawl, then they walk, and soon they are playing
t-ball,
Next thing you know, they are headed to school in the fall,
It is a true phenomenon for time is the ultimate thief,
Enjoy them while they are young, it is ever so brief,
Potty seats, dirty feet and play dough on the floor,
It’s just a season moving fast, so please just give me more!
Time moves faster, the older you get,
I know because I am a product of it,
So, put those tiny handprints all over my glass,
I want to preserve them, but they just won’t last!
