It all ended to fast

When they were born I was filled with joy

Number 1,2,3 and four

I watched them grow 
​
It all ends to fast

To soon do they grow up and become their own

All alone now

Something I loved so much has ended way to soon

All of my joy came from raising them and watching them, helping them learn, helping them explore

They taught me how to dream 

A sorrow I know not how to express

I feel alone with no body

Wherever I went they wanted to go

Wherever I go now I go alone

My trail now is somber and quiet 

I have nobody to dream with, nobody to share in my adventures

My trail was once filled with excitement and joy

Exploring and learning together

But now quiet and somber, even melancholy 

It all ended to fast
​
They gave me wings to fly

They believed in me more than I believed in myself

If only I could have believed in myself more

I know they must grow, move on and walk their own trail

It just ended to soon

It ended before I knew it

It ended when I wasn’t looking

Sad is the parent who doesn’t dream with their children

It all ended to fast
