I Must Have Gotten That From You

“I must have gotten that from you” That’s what my daughter Edie said In reference to her perfect feet Which I so often said I had My math class is easy for me “I must have gotten that from you” That’s what my daughter Erin said Taking calculus at the U. My daughter Ellen plays guitar And she has said these words to me “I must have gotten that from you” As we play for the family Both of my parents have passed on Yet, I see them in things I do That’s when I wish l could tell them “I must have gotten that from you”

We have twins, now 28 years old, and it is amazing how we can pick us out of them. Tony
