Poem
I smiled the day my children arrived As my wife, my love, she brought them in Behind curtain, cut, she waited to see them As I whispered to her… in time She held them, fed them, cleaned them well Counting the days to bring them home She asked the doctor just how long to leave He said in reply… in time In time The whole wide world can pass us by In time The days can go in the blink of an eye In time Moments must be captured somehow In time There’s no time, like right now Home, loving them, helping them grow She and I did our best to give them everything Yet they always asked for the newest things And we would say… in time They’d get, they’d use, they’d change their likes What was new was old and they wanted new again Money was tight, but love was always plenty So we would reply… in time In time The whole wide world can pass us by In time The days can go in the blink of an eye In time Moments must be captured somehow In time There’s no time, like right now They rushed to grow through school, through life While we watched and taught and loved so much They wanted this and that, the car keys and more Our reply was always… in time When they fell in love and broke their hearts Our hearts had broken those times with them They would ask why and how long to get over We’d respond lovingly… in time In time The whole wide world can pass us by In time The days can go in the blink of an eye In time Moments must be captured somehow In time There’s no time, like right now As adults, they learned so much and applied With children of their own, they learned even more When asked of them, the same things we heard We heard them say… in time Funny, how different they are and may end up As years went on, we couldn’t and didn’t see That all problems pass and they will be fine Because we got to them… in time In time The whole wide world can pass us by In time The days can go in the blink of an eye In time Moments must be captured somehow In time There’s no time, like right now
