Poem
I remember the days they were born Both in March, cold and rainy yet we were warm Me a new dad and my love a new mom Not knowing what to expect, trying to be calm Jarret was the first, it was March 25th Time seemed to linger, our long wait was no myth But when he decided to take his first look We both cried at our miracle, as if from a book It’s the simple things, oh… the simple things The next time we were old hands, but still a little scared Wondering how it would turn out, our strength shared The doctor and nurse seem to show no worry When that heart monitor slowed down in a hurry But then Anna came so quick on that March 29th Our surprised little doc, still had her sweater on tight It’s the simple things, oh… yeah, the simple things The years go by fast, as everyone says Somehow you don’t pay attention until, there it is The first time he and I walked to our fishing hole My buddy and me, him carrying his little pole Jabbering away about the big one he’d catch Me hanging on his every word, knowing this moment would be hard to match It’s the little things, man I mean the little things She was a cute little bug, always holding a kitty, puppy or such She with her happy heart, I love her so much The first to make friends with whomever she met, Her big brown doe eyes are hard to forget The next thing I knew he’s taller than me With a voice as deep as the old man in the sea His single word answers to questions left me craving more It’s tough on a loving dad, but I know the score She sings, oh.. how she sings wherever she goes Our happy heart may someday star in the show Later I pick her up and hear how the game went Just listening to her joy, me ever so content It’s the little things, those simple little things I’m sitting in the car, waiting for school to abstain ‘Cause I don’t want him to have to walk home in the rain He jumps in, looks at me and says, thanks pop You know I love you, and that’s non-stop It’s life’s little things…just these little things It’s life’s little things…just enjoy the little things..
