I Have Watched My Children Grow

Moe Bandy a great country singer and songwriter once wrote a song called the “Too Old To Die Young” which I recently heard, found the words and now it has become one of my all time favorites. The chorus line in it sums up how I also feel…

“Let me watch my children grow…to see what they become,

Oh Lord don’t let that cold wind blow… till I’m too old too die young”

I thank the Lord...

For the baby I held in my arms

For seeing her many charms

For hearing her call me Dad

For love in good times and bad

For each boo-boo I kissed

For every pony she wished

For each hug and goodnight

For each new morning light

For the feel of her little fingers

For that love that still lingers

For allowing me to see

For knowing she’ll always be

A blessing that you sent to me!

Dad

XXXOOO
