Someday

By Joann Ryan-Stanley

Someday You’ll Miss Those Coats

Hanging On The Back Of A Chair

And The Hats And Shoes

Thrown About The Room

And The Toys Not Going Anywhere

Someday You’ll Miss That Table

Filled With Plates Of Food

Where We Prayed And Laughed And Shared Our Day

Until The Evenings Day Was Through

Someday Will Come

When Your Raising Time Is Done

And Your Children Leave Their Nest

You’ll Miss Their Hugs And Great Big Smiles

That Filled Your Heart With Love

As The Circle Of Life Evolves

And The Day’s Turn Into Years

Life Holds A Treasure Too

Your Grandchildren Will Come Into Your Life

With Hats And Shoes Thrown About The Room

And Coats Hung On The Backs Of Chairs

And The Toys Not Going Anywhere

And You’ll Look Around

With A Great Big Smile

And Their Love Will Embrace You Too…
