We Are Old Now
A Poem About Parenting

We are old now, you and I
Much older than we were when we first stood at the altar
And promised each other for better or worse.
Those young faces smiling at us from our wedding photos
Now walk around our house, their iPhone or iPad in hand,
Talking about ballet or NFL football
As if those are the most important things in the world.
