The best part of life
is watching love grow
Dad said in a small voice
Laughter flows
Even if no words between you are spoken
You silently connect love and give its token
You are older now. The walls are silent
no shadows of small limbs playing,
long gone from sight
ones so small and happy are now
So big and tall
The thing about watching love grow
When you are old, you still recall
Happy memories, picking up autumn leaves
Wiping tears from minor falls on your sleeves
coloring, hiking
swimming, biking
Years of filling up summer days
Resting under an elm watching them at play
There is no better thing in life than watching love grow
Mama and Daddy, open your eyes
you will be old before you know
Grab hold of your babies, sit back
Watch love grow
They will be gone before you know
