Our children look at us as their dependance, they expect to see us forever more. Our children don't realize that we aren't here forever and they won't until we are gone.

      


When We Are Old And Grey


What will they do dear,
When we are both long gone.
Remember us for words we gave,
Even if they felt we were wrong.
For we have loved you so,
All your life, each day.S
o please don't soon forget us,
When we are old and gray.
For time is slipping by dear,
Tomorrow will come too fast.
Please keep us in your memory,
An important part of your past 
Remember you are what we've created,
Be proud of who you are today.
Just don't forget we gave you love,
When we are old and gray.
We may not stand as straight and tall ,
We may sleep our life away.
But we'll love you as we always have,
Even when we are old and gray.
