Youth

Just another word for the measure of inexperience In noting the challenges ahead will be so immense In seeing a continual giddiness that confirms your parental view Just leaving it to mother time for there is little left that you can do For the more that you say and the harder that you try The quicker that they will find a way to just slip on by With everything you said and all the sacrifices you made They now lay dormant in their head and now you feel betrayed Fear not in your weariness for you have not failed For many were more of a mess, yet their ships have still sailed Enjoy this part of God's greatest Gift For with every tug at your heart, it's the joy that will lift Til one day when you both stand eye to eye And you will see that all that I said was not a lie For now they will begin to just simply amaze Showing all the things you taught during all those youthful days
