As You Grow Up

Nothing makes me happier,
Then seeing your smiling face.
Alive and well and wonderful,
Exactly in your place.
I wonder where you'll go in life,
And where ever I'll be proud.
And no matter if you win or lose,
I'll forever be around.
To back you up when life gets rough,
To pick you up when you have fallen.
But I won't always hold on tight,
Sometimes you're on your own.
To deal with those problems,
That you'd rather face alone.
But anytime you call me,
I'll be there within a flash.
Cause your my cousin and I care.
Because I want you to be safe,
Knowing I'll be there.
You'll always have a back up,
When life gets hard and tough.
I'll help you through the best and worst,
And when you want to just give up.
You're my cousin and I love you,
Even when I'm mad.
Those feelings will all melt away when you tell me you are sad.
I look at you now and smile,
As my eyes fill up with tears.,
My heart overflows with pride,
And the rest of my just cheers.
I look at you, you're all grown up,
And shine with what you've learned.
I smile because I've taught you,
And I know its well deserved.
