Little tadpole you've grown so fast.
A whirlwind of a past.
It seems like yesterday you were frog spawn,
And now a frog you're almost grown.
You started off tiny,
Vulnerable but free.
Now you no longer need protection from me.
Little bird,
You've learnt to fly.
I watch you dilly dally in the sky.
Seems like only yesterday you were snuggled to my breast,
Now you appear to have outgrown our nest.
Little lamb so small and sweet,
You've grown right up in to those cute little feet.
You used to need me to keep you warm,
But now it's the summer and your coat has been shorn.
It seems such a shame to grow up so fast and loud,
But goodness you've made me so very proud.
Inspired by something my Nan said to me yesterday <3
