Missing the Kids

Your kids can be grown and gone
Having gone their way and moved away
Yet, they still have sway on your thoughts
And will always be able to pull on your heart strings
As you find yourself waiting for them to take time
From their busy days and ever busy lives
To call on the phone and chat awhile
Or take the time to come visit
Before old age takes its toll
And their visit is a sad one
Ending in a final goodbye
With lots of flowers
And tears shed
At graveside
