Life

starts with simple cries and
love in the room flies
Whether it's a boy or a girl

It was love at first sight
But all through the night
It was a cry or a shriek here and there

Now they wish to buy a car
Or asking to go to the local bar

Your heart is breaking
as their hands are shaking
you to bid goodbye

They are in college now
And you're wondering how
they grew up so fast.

They now have a life
and now get a slice
of what you have been through.
