Epiphanies (inspired by My Favorite Things)

Toddlers that “get it,”
That first sense of humor!
Ultrasound showing
There’s two in her womb, or
Suddenly noticing
His shy, sweet stare.
These are some things
That are special and rare.
Seeing my mother
In my own reflection.
More often noting
Decreased recollection.
Pleasant occasions
In which I take part.
Still finding plenty
To capture my heart.
Years fly quickly,
Oh, so quickly!
Decades swiftly pass.
So value your loved ones,
Your home, and your life.
Acknowledge your brim-
full glass!
