I Was Me
First I was me,
Selfish as can be,
Wanting everything from A to Z
And wanting it all for me.
Then I became we,
A part of an us.
I learned to share, give and take
I learned how to trust.
Next I was you,
Believe me its true.
I would rather give than receive,
It was you I wanted to please.
Now I am them,
A family man.
Giving my children,
All that I can.
If you look real close,
It is easy to see,
I am older and wiser,
And no longer a me.
