Daddy Will I Grow Old

Daddy will I grow old to go home the first time Daddy will I grow old to hear my first rhyme Daddy will I grow old to eat my first meal Daddy will I grow old to see my heart heal Daddy will I grow old to see my mom smile Daddy will I grow old to be held for a while Daddy will I grow old to learn how to walk Daddy will I grow old to learn how to talk Daddy will I grow old to see my first snow Daddy will I grow old to get my first cold Daddy will I grow old to hear my first song Daddy will I grow old to do my first wrong Daddy will I grow old to have a first friend Daddy will I grow old to feel my first wind Daddy will I grow old to have a first toy Daddy will I grow old to show my first joy Daddy will I grow old to have my first laugh Daddy will I grow old to see my first giraffe Daddy will I grow old to kick my first ball Daddy will I grow old to have my first fall These are the things that went through my mind As a daddy I hoped to answer them in time As a CHD dad you don't know what to expect there truly is no answer of the time they have left You love them everyday like it was thier last and smile everyday when tomorrow is the past If for some reason it happens and their day on this earth ends God holds them close until we can see them again.
