Tick Tock

Time travels with her tail between her legs.
Three plus months ago, I witnessed a miracle.
I still see the moment as if it were now.

I will remember that moment as I do
the birth of my daughter and both of my sons,
now adults themselves, or well on their way.

I still see skinny legs, unsteady steps.
Sidewinding, submissive—the years slink by.
The past is in the present, but where am I?
