Life

Life


Being a parent is a wonderful life
Your raise your child in a world of strife
The times might be hard, no one said it would be easy
There may be times when you might even fill queasy

Each day is a new day that you learn
They’ll be hugs and kisses that you earn
 First smiles and first steps that you’ll see
First day at school, and a scrape on their knee

As the years go by and yes they go fast
All these special moments they just don’t last
First date and first car and first broken heart
Then theirs the wedding and a new life to start

All a sudden your golden years they appear
And your children are gone you might shed a tear
You may think of all the years gone by
But now its your time to let your wings fly

Enjoy all of your days do all that you can
This is your time you can make a plan
Its up to you I hope you know
Just enjoy yourself get up and go!!!
