Another wonderful prompt from over at JL's "Dodge Writes"
http://dodgewrites.blogspot.com/

If you haven't checked out her writing you are missing out. She writes lovely poetry and is such an encourager.

Even if this isn't your form of writing it truly is inspiring.

Today we are to write a poem using this sentence in our poem. So I'm going to give it a whirl

HERE WE LEAVE THE RUSHING





--------------------------------------------

HERE WE LEAVE THE RUSHING

Here we leave the rushing

As you came to me with a rush

You grew so fast

Time slipped away

I had wished

Please
Slow down

Leave the rushing to me

But the time slipped away
As the days slipped into years
I thought
Please
As I thought
Of all the love and playing
I begged
Please

Here we leave the the rushing
So I could hold onto one more day
The little hand that held tight the love
The eyes that said mommy please
I love you so
I begged
Please
Here we leave the rushing
So I might hold onto one more day
The child that ran into my arms in play
That skipped and sang of
Childhood dreams
Then one day
The rushing stopped
A new generation begins

You then with bright eyes said
Here we leave the rushing
As you became a mom
You said

They come in a rush

They grow so fast
You said

I wish

Please

Leave the rushing to us
Their little hands
The twinkle in their eyes
Their curious search
Questions many
You say

Here we leave the rushing

As each new generation comes

With a rush

Slow down

No need to rush

Leave the rushing to us

So

Here we leave the rushing

As we grow older and wiser

Stop and smell the rose's

Here we leave the rushing

As each new generation comes

In with a rush
