Family Circle

When I am born, you are here

In your eye, I see a tear

Time flies and already I'm two

"Look, Daddy, I can tie my shoe!"

Before you know it, I'm five

Every day, you thank God I'm alive

Pretty soon, I turn eight

You tell me I'm never allowed to date

I'm already twelve in my preteen years

Which means you'll help me with all my new fears

Now fourteen with my permit to drive

Waiting to hit the big one-five

Too early comes sixteen, with my license now

It went by too fast, you just ask how

You want to meet my boyfriend when I'm eighteen

I pray to God that you're not too mean

The same guy two years later asks for my hand

I'm relieved when you say, that's just grand

About a year later, you walk me down the aisle

Through all the tears, you bare a smile

Three years later, you're gonna be a grandfather

You show love and pride for your new granddaughter

Another year down the road

Mom dies, oh the many tears that flowed

You're not doing so well without her

Less than a year later, you forgot all about her

Alzheimer's sets in and it scares me so

Not long after, you decide to go

Now I'm regretting not saying goodbye

Every time I think about it, I start to cry

The cycle has begun again

It has started over with little Megan

The other day, she turned two

And said, "Look, daddy, I can tie my shoe!"
