What I Have Seen

What I Have Seen

Chubby fingers, chubby toes;
Clear blue eyes and turned up nose.

Everything's so bright and new,
Little Baby I love you.

Hop scotch, Barbies, long brown curls,
We thank you God for little girls.

Baseball diamonds, lots of toys;
Tonka trucks for little boys.

School days, Proms, and lots of friends.
Soon the boys are full grown men.

Girls go shopping, Brides Boutique. 
Because of promises we keep.

Life rolls on an unending line;
Quickly toll the bells of time.

The Soldier who must find his way;
Was just a baby Yesterday.

I've watched it roll as here I roam.
On my peculiar Journey home.

Somehow it all fits in God's plan;
This is our life, the lot of man.
