Children grow so quickly, sometimes it seems that we blink, and there they are with children of their own

Remember


It seems like only yesterday
I watched you, a child at play
you could swing so very high
it seems like you would touch the sky!
We would laugh, and we would sing
we would lie upon the grass
and watch the birds in flight
oh how I miss those lovely times

As I lie here at night, I wonder, do you remember too
all the fun things we would do
the finger-paints, the water fights
the hot chocolate on snowy nights
Now, you have a daughter too
and you watch her, like I watched you
Please, savor each and every second,
for they don't last very long
it seems you simply blink your eyes
and suddenly they are gone
