Tick
Tock
The clock
Won’t stop you
From growing

All too soon
Off into the big world
You will go

Undeniable
Inevitable
Tick
Tock

Except
My inner eye
Still sees
The babe in you
Remembers
Tiny hands
Smaller feet

Blink
Yes you are still the same to me
Only bigger
And louder

Bigger
Louder
Slow down
Clock
Slow down
Tick Tock
Slow
Down
