Soon Enough

a mama’s poem

Soon enough, you’ll be tall like a tree.
In the blink of an eye, you’ll be grown up like me.
Soon enough, you’ll set sail far away.
So today, let’s stay home together and play.
♥
Today we won’t hurry.
Today we won’t rush.
All those things will come soon enough.
♥
Soon enough, you’ll know all the rules.
You’ll learn all the subjects they teach us in schools.
Before too long, you’ll know just what to do.
So today, I won’t put any pressure on you.
♥
Today we won’t hurry,
Today we won’t rush.
All those things will come soon enough.
♥
Soon enough, Love, you’ll be in full bloom.
A butterfly bursting out from its cocoon.
Soon, you will soar on your own two wings,
So today, let’s explore all the sweet little things.
♥
Today we won’t hurry,
No, today we won’t rush.
All those things will come soon enough.
♥
Soon, I know you’ll be wiser & older.
You’ll be braver and brighter and kinder and bolder.
But I want you to know you’re already enough.
And all good things will come soon enough,
and all your dreams will come soon enough.
♥
So today we won’t hurry,
Today we won’t rush.
Yes, all those things will come soon enough.
