My Only Two June 06 2004

These days of watching the two of them grow up will soon disappear in the shadows As one day they shall go down their own path and dust will cover their tracks Leaving me here to have all these hopes and dreams for my only two children This thing called time, slowly taking my babies away from me Pushing them to be little people, soon becoming parents of their own Knowing I won’t always be able to save them from this world So I pray my children look back down that path as they go on their own way I hope they struggle to see through the dust they will one day leave behind I hope as they look back they are proud I hope they can one day thank me for who they will become The things time can magically take from us In a blink of an eye it’s gone
