Growing
Welcome little one
I hear your cries of freedom
As I hold you close
You take your first steps
And you never stop running
The clock is ticking
Life will beat you down
Life will once again lift you
Then laugh as you fall
There is happiness
Sadness hangs around your soul
As people pass on
Old age cripples you
Memories of your youth rise
To kiss you good bye.
