These lines got me:

"And then they open.

Slowly yet suddenly. Gradually yet all at once."

I'm at the end of my tiny years with my children (my youngest is six) and I'm definitely thinking a lot about how quickly my kids change these days.

Thank you so much for the mention. I was so flattered that your reached out to ask about your poem 💛.

Love the last lines of the poem: "Buds you will be no more and never will be again.

But the beauty and love you unfold will forever remain." So good!

Everyone grows but the preciousness is still the same.
