Here Today Gone Tomorrow
I knew one day
you'd spread your wings
you'd take my heart
when you cut
our strings
through the years
Id daydream alot,
worried about that day
then I'd think to myself
"She's a well rounded girl
with brains to boot,
eh she'll be okay"
Now it's all changed
as that day is here
the anxiety of a loss
is what i fear
With tears in our eyes
you tell me "don't cry,
I've groomed my feathers
so I'll fly really
high
As i watch her wings
spread far and wide
the metaphoric example
of a future so bright
I swallow the knot
that is in my throat
as i watch her take off
and i feel life
broke
True to you
my beautiful daughter
my smile came back
within the hour
I picked up the phone
to hear your voice
as you go on and on
with your girlie stories
These silly moments
i've come to cherrish
no matter your age
you will always be
mom's baby
