Look what you've done! How capable you are!
I can see your success. Along with the rest.
I've seen you cry. How hard you try.
I know you need to run and play Some day you'll even step away.
Seeing you now in your crib. Putting on that first bib.
Soon what I see. Is how you are following me.
And all who've walked this way. You're approaching your day.
When your kids will see you as "old'. No longer the person providing "the gold".
They'll need to help you each day. Or will they turn and walk away?
It's the way of the world. We play and we pay.
