Full Circle

Another child was born today To grow up strong and proud she may. But for now she's young and small She's growing fast and she loves to play ball. Her tenth birthday is coming up For Christmas this year she got her first pup. She's into guys And her self esteem dies And her life seems to tie up in knots. Her heart has been broken over and over again One of these days she swears she's going to win! Now she settles down and gets married And over the thresh-hold she is carried. They start a new family With one baby baby boy. She looks in his eyes as he receives his first toy. The boy grows older and so does she More and more are added to the tree. As she takes her last breaths She remembers her life As it passes before her weak, sad eyes. She calls to her son and the rest of the family To tell them just how much she cares, "I love you all, and I'll see you there."
