Flashes of Life
Flash!
First day of Kindergarten
Hair in pig tails, radiant smile
It seems like she’ll be young for a while
Flash!
First day of Elementary
Her hair tied into a tight ponytail, with a bubbly giggle to match
She’s still young
Flash!
First day of Middle School
Hair down in a bounty of brown curls, make up on her porcelain doll face
She’s starting to grow up…
Flash!
First day of High School
Skintight clothes, voluptuous curves with smoky eyes
She’s growing up so fast
Flash!
First Boyfriend
Short skirt, attitude
Where did the little girl in pig tails go?
Flash!
Graduation Day
Cap and gown, blue eyes glittering in the beaming sun
Their baby girl is leaving home
Flash!
First Job
Hair twisted up, body squeezed into a pencil skirt
She looks just like her mother…
Flash!
Wedding Day
Pure white dress, father on her right side
Where has the time gone?
Flash!
Baby Shower
Big belly, glowing face
Remembering when she was young
Flash!
Birth Day
Exasperated, baby in her frail arms
Getting old
Flash!
Passing Away
By the bed side, tears in her bright blue eyes
Goodbye my darling daughter
Flash!
Family Pictures
Husband and baby, dazzling smile
On her own now
Flash!
First day of Kindergarten
Hair in pig tails, radiant smile
It seems like she’ll be young for a while…
Flash!
Moments go by, just like that
One minute they’re there
And the next minute...
Flash!
