Time Flies

You’ve just been born. You’re a brand new kid. When you first learned to walk you stumbled a bit. When you didn’t get your way you threw your 2 year old fit. Now you’ve started kindergarten And you’re learning how to add 2+2. You’re so excited about your first field trip to the zoo. Now you have just started 8th grade and your trying to find yourself. But remember that your destiny isn’t found on any bookshelf. You are now 18 and your at your graduation. Your not sure which college you should go to, maybe somewhere across the nation. You’re now 32 years old and you are married and have 2 kids. You watch them walk and stumble. You watch them throw a fit. You watch them as they tell you all about their first field trip. You watch them find themselves and you watch them at their graduation. You watch as they get older and have their own kids to watch in anticipation.
