The poems continue in a chronological order and describe the daily things we parents have done with our children; but they become more dramatic and important as we see them reported in verse form. Each little poem is a poetic snapshot of one moment in time with a loved child.

Then the time comes when his daughter doesn’t want or need him to swing her; she needs other things and he yearns for the playful things of the young. He concedes he must let go and let her grow up.

This collection begs for a photo for each poem. The photo need not be of the actual event but an age appropriate photo. I loved the poems. Although we have sons, these poems elicited thoughts and feelings from many experiences. A must for any father who has gone through the joys of fatherhood.
