"One Day You Were...Someday You Will" by Anna Duncan Owens is a heartfelt and poetic reflection on the journey of parenthood, capturing the bittersweet passage of time as a child grows up. The book contrasts the tender moments of a child's early years-such as crawling, babbling, and splashing in the bath-with the anticipated milestones of their future, like running, driving, and achieving great things. Each verse celebrates both the joys of the present and the promise of what's to come, emphasizing the fleeting nature of childhood and the precious memories that shape the parent-child bond. Through a series of vivid and emotional snapshots, the author beautifully portrays the love, pride, and wistfulness that accompany watching a child grow from a baby into a young adult.
