Little tiny fingers
Curl around the cotton blanket
Curious eyes glance from one corner to the next
Figuring out how everything works.
•
Giggles bounce down the halls
As you scurry along
A friend there to greet you
They will always be there.
•
Pencils and paper
Backpack and lunch
It's time to learn your ABC's
And make a friend or two.
•
Schedules and periods
Everything's getting more intense
You never have to worry, though
Your friends will have your back.
•
High school's now here
The time to try new things
The time to figure yourself out
Your friends will start to come and go.
•
College
Boy time has flown by
You're living on your own now
No mommy to protect you.
•
Your first job
So many new responsibilities
Maybe now's the time to fall in love
And make some new memories.
•
The wedding bells are ringing
The handsome groom awaits
Nerves will start to kick in
But you're ready for your fate.
•
The most joyous day of your life
You hold your daughter in your arms
She wraps her tiny precious fingers
Around your own.
•
You watch them grow up so quickly
You can't believe your eyes
Boy how time
Is still flying by.
•
You sit now on your porch
Looking out on a sunny day
Pain strikes with the little movements
So you just sit and think.
Think of the wonderful life you lived
And how it went by so quick
You wish you could relive it all again
But you wouldn't change a thing.
