Coochy coos and raspberry kisses

So still working on the poetry... and this is one that might need a lot of work to remove all the cheezy sayings and such but hey I was feeling good.

Coochey coos and raspberry kisses
Tickle bellies and peek-a-boo
The cuddles and abandoned sleep
Those loving feelings the world can see
A time that passes instantly
 
Such times of failure and first steps
Strong wills exerted and cheeky grins abeam
Hugs and sloppy kisses, and hourly triumphant dances
A time that passes quickly 


Of independent thought and mind
Of strikings out and retrenchments
Of first loves and of losses
And more permanent achievements
A time that passes by


A loss of youth, of innocence and thought
A loss of honest openness just business and choice,
Redundant consults in their lives, a time where comments’ passed.
Small need to praise or be proud
They’re self assured and confident
Their lives have moved away
A time that changes you 


Though now apart they hear you still
Those murmurings of love and faith, of confidence and pride
Your ghostly comments still abound inside
Father and son, past and present, intermingled all
A time that never dies
