Time Flies
You’ve just been born.
You’re a brand new kid.
When you first learned to walk
you stumbled a bit.
When you didn’t get your way
you threw your 2 year old fit.
Now you’ve started kindergarten
And you’re learning how to add 2+2.
You’re so excited about your first field trip
to the zoo.
Now you have just started 8th grade
and your trying to find yourself.
But remember that your destiny isn’t found on
any bookshelf.
You are now 18 and your
at your graduation.
Your not sure which college you should go to,
maybe somewhere across the nation.
You’re now 32 years old
and you are married and have 2 kids.
You watch them walk
and stumble. You watch them
throw a fit.
You watch them as they tell you all about their
first field trip.
You watch them find themselves
and you watch them
at their graduation.
You watch as they get older
and have their own kids to watch
in anticipation.
