My Little Buddy
To my nephew, growing up too fast
To my little buddy
Your eyes so bright
With such delight
Your silly games
And your goofy grins
Once you were so small
You grew up so fast
I loved you through all of that
Getting smarter every day
Enjoy this time I say
Wish I could keep you small

I enjoy writing for fun. I like to write for several genres including fantasy, poetry, and dystopian, but I am open to trying other genres too. It has been a source of stress relief from my busy life.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Aww this is so sweet! Savor these days, as I’m sure you do :)
I have felt this way about my Grandchildren. They do grow up so fast, and I often wished I could keep them young for much longer than they stayed little. They are so much fun when they are little and yes, they do grow up so fast. Nicely done to portray how many of us feel.
I love it. ⚡💙⚡
I love poems about the love for children. Beautifully done and yes they do grow up so fast. Well Done!!!
