It
was so unusual
When
your Dad came home that day
To
tell me of a little girl
Who
needed a place to stay
He
asked if I would meet you
And
if we could take you in
I
said that I would love to
As
I watched his crooked grin
I
met you that evening
My
heart melted at the sight
Of
a chubby cheeked little girl
And
I knew that it was right
To
take a frightened little girl
And
raise her as my own
To
teach her everything I could
Until
she was finally grown
From
learning ABC’s and 123’s
I
was there to watch you grow
Broken
hearts and bandaged knees
To
having a child of your own
Sometimes
it seems like yesterday
Sometimes
forever ago
Now
it’s your turn
To
watch your little one grow
To
grow from a little boy
With
chubby cheeked smiles
Into
a man so strong
With
his own style
So
cherish today while he’s small
Love
him with all your heart
Tomorrow
will come all too soon
When
from the nest he will depart
You’ll
remember ABC’s and 123’s
Being
there to watch him grow
Broken
hearts and bandaged knees
God,
where has the time flown
