Juggling - For Deirdre and Liam

Juggling with kids is hard work I mean, you two have so much energy you too I love it But I can feel the pain in my what are those muscles in my legs? Tossing one kid to the next like a pair of socks bouncing balls so far we have to find them running As we laugh at every toss, every miss again and again I hear a giggle another giggle, sometimes a "sorry!" there is nothing to be sorry about I'm in shoes, she's in socks pretty socks at that D's socks we throw at each other are Deirdra's too Liam's bare foot is tough enough to stand agains the wall Your laughs, our laughs at every toss and catch one two ev'ry 5 seconds for an hour maybe more adds up to hundreds or thousands of laughs, giggles, I'm sorries and I hope for many more
