My babies are growing up and getting so old,
Now six is Whitney, the baby I used to hold.
My other baby Elysia is today turning eight,
I wish they were still babies but I guess that’s too late.
Taylor is twelve and Laura nearly is twelve too,
Jackson will be ten next year and I don’t know what to do.
Grace is nine, Rhylee’s eight and they’re both growing up fast,
And Teaghan is nearly five. Babies never last.
James is three and Jaydie’s two. They used to be so small,
My babies are getting old and I can’t cope at all.
I try to stay calm, without my sadness showing
But that’s hard to do when my babies keep growing!
