You need and want me so much
Your little lives depend on me
I feed, wash and dress you, loving you all the time
You grow and learn, little by little
Small changes I hardly notice take place
You want me there, by your side; you reach up for my hand
When you are hurt, only I can stop your pain
Sometimes there is very little left of me
You trust me utterly
I love you unconditionally
Precious moments, laughs and screams
Mess and disorder clutter always to clean
You learn the rules, grow capable, and independent
Each step up is away from your need of me
I am proud, but don’t want to let go of you
Stop! Freeze time and hug you tight to me
I am living my good old days right now

I think so many people are living the good old days here and now but don't realise it. What great insight you have to appreciate how precious your time with your children is.
CF I am going to repeat your last line over and over again. It is going to be my new mantra!
Beautiful, beautiful poem.
