This is a very nicely composed poem. It reminds me of my own kids, of course. Even as adults their conversation makes me wistful of their childhood days. Thanks for refreshing that memory. Marilyn

Being a mother can be such a joy. Being a mother myself it's sometimes hard to watch your kids grow up. But I can say one thing, you are never done being a mother. Thank you for sharing

Welcome back, Amada, my poetic friend. I miss your poetic voice.

I love the poem. It speaks of brother and sister relationship. Also, the mother's role is prevalent in the poem.

These are nostalgic memories of children at home and at play on a rainy days, finding ways to entertain themselves. The mother is relishing all those precious moments.

Thank you of sharing such an endearing poem.

It was lovely to read how this mother reminisced while watching and listening to their now grown-up children.
Your poem is simple but heart-warming. I like it.
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely, absolutely lovely. Ones feels the bond and appreciation of family and the simple things that mean so much in the long run. A hearty write that is perfect for a Sunday morning.

''All grown up now
But with the twirl and wisp
Of their younger years

Their childhood chuckle remains--
Race cars, dolls, and lollipops.''

How wonderful!

Well done.
My best wishes. Have a lovely day, and may this continue.

This poem has a lovely and commendable ending; my favorite part of raucous, loving recollection of a task often under-appreciated.

It was good to see your name pop up and a lovely coincidence too. We are in Ashland, Oregon for the Shakespeare Festival, and our son had lunch with a friend here, who is moving to Seattle today.

I enjoyed your sharing nostalgia in this free verse, along with the wonderful descriptions like "twirl and wisp". Here's to continuing your search... Hugs and have a serene weekend- Joan
