Working Hard

Never work hard and miss the special moments Be visible in your kids' lives, or it will be a torment You will miss out on all their adventures and dreams Because you're out there in life doing other things So take a timeout to look and stare Make the most of the opportunity without missing a glare Because the special moments will be gone so quick your child is grown now, all married with kids Now you're all alone waiting for them to visit For them to tell you I'm going to have to miss it Sadness on your face with no one in sight You go to bed feeling lonely with no one to say goodnight You lay in the bed with that anguish feeling Were did the time go there is no healing Your heart begins to beat fast in a tearful fright There no one left, so you turn off your light
