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
