Growing Up

Your paths will be hilly
at the very best
but I know you'll make it
yes, you'll pass the test
as you grow older
you will see 
a better man
and women you'll be
for all to soon
you'll leave this nest
I have to know
I've done my best
out in the world
you'll make your mark
a new beginning
and a brand new start
so off with the old
and on with the new
just always remember
I'm so proud of you
you make the cards 
that seem to say
I'm glade I'm your mom
today and every day...
