My Busy Bees, Stay Little Please

xTattooingPaperx

Love is like pure honey. 
With it, life is a treat. 
Milestones, mountains, 
pollination by little bees. 
I hear buzzing all around. 
Footsteps cushion my ears,
but I dread silent sound
and the day honey ages 
and tastes bittersweet. 
I'll forever cherish the jars
that collect the memories
and pray every night 
that my little bees go far
and find their shooting stars.

    I always found that when kids get to around five, you lose them to their pals.
    They sure do grow up fast, probably not helped by computers and everything that surrounds them.
    Even the bedtime story has been kicked into touch.
    Just wait till they're demanding mobile phones and cash. lol

      Oh too late. They all already have phones. Sigh. Im grateful though bc I've never really lost them to friends. They always want me to meet them and then they all just wanna stay here lol.
