Diaper Diaries
No matter how big, Our children are here to stay
But our babies are not, I’m sad and sorry to say
You’ll watch as they grow and learn everyday
In the most remarkable and intriguing way
We watch and admire our babies so little and young
Hoping someday they will grow to be strong and have lots of fun
Wisdom and integrity are a hopeful thought too
Their brilliance is simply amazing that much is true
Next they’re off to school and you don’t know what to do
The house is so uncomfortably quiet and calm
You try to keep busy,for noise you turn the washing machine on
But it doesn’t quite fill the missing sound of children playing and carrying on
You finally get used to this daily routine of goodbye and hello
But deep down inside you don’t want them to go
It doesn’t matter if you can’t have anything nice
Because they’re your babies when they need you’ll never think twice
Too fast they grow big and begin to test
You worry more and almost never rest
Now comes the time they learn to drive a car
They run distant roads even when you told them not to go far
The last year of high school is here
And you prepare them for tests but hope they stay near
Across the country is too far you fear
They promise you that you’ll always have their ear
Off to college and all grown up, how could this be?
Just yesterday it seemed they were wittle not yet three
You couldn’t wait to watch them grow
Then the day comes when you must watch them go
Cherish the little moments so sweet and tender
They grow up too fast and will call after their first fender bender
But remember this, as I reassure you with a tear in my eye
Babies are your children and your children will never say ‘Good Bye’
As you watch a Great Grandmother holding that lil’ one
You will sit astonished by the miracle that’s been done
