Little feet, little toes
Little smiles all aglow
Little pit little pat
There’s a footprint on my hat
Little hopes, little dreams
Can I have more ice cream
Purple Barney, yellow bird
Fire trucks and sirens heard
Spilled juice, torn jeans,
Do I have to eat those beans
The bus is here, it’s off to school
Time to learn the golden rule
Elementary, junior high
Oh how quick the years fly by
First prom, first date
Home by 10 don’t be late
Part time job after school
Weekend plans with my girl
Friends are waiting, can I please
Take the car, I need the keys
Wont be long and they’ll be grown
Out the door and on their own
Little feet little toes
In little time they
Grow and grow
Enjoy the little
Time you have
With little feet
And little hands
Let them be little

I really liked the flow of this poem, I can imagine it being a barney rap song.
Very cute.

Little feet little toes
In little time they
Grow and grow
Enjoy the little
Time you have
With little feet
And little hands
This is just too true. I wish I knew a way to slow down the process. Thanks for the entry and good luck in the contest!

Wonderful poem. It is so true how time goes by so quick and the children grow up so fast. You have to cherish the time when they are small, because before you know it they are all grown up. I love it. Excellent job.
