When a Child Is Born
When a child is born
In their years that lie ahead
All we ever want for them
Is to watch their happiness spread
Catch their very first step
Be there in case they fall
Hear their very first word
It makes you tear, but you feel so tall
You hold them by the hand
On their very first day at school
Another part of their journey
Our little family jewel
Then it's off to high school
Where they change from year to year
Their heading into the big wide world
It's when we start to fear
This is where us parents look back
And admire the kids we've raised
Our desire to see them prosper and grow
Fills us with inner praise
For as our kids are growing
Our years grow with them too
We do our best like all the rest
Us parents, me and you
