Let’s do it again

Sleepless nights, baby cries;

Stinky diapers… ewww.

Runny nose, watery eyes.

Mommy Daddy I love you.

                                                                                                                                             

Minutes turn to years;

In a flash, you grew.

Do you remember the tears?

Now you do what parents do.

Wedding day, so many smiles;

Nothing but blue skies do I see.

Palm trees, beaches, vacation miles

We will be happy to rest, just be.

Renaissance in progress, reset, renew;

All the effort, time it takes;

You figure just what to do;

It’s the little things that a life makes.

The world belongs to those who wait

Skyscrapers, Autumn leaves, trucks and cars.

Watching the curious twist of fate

The little ones will be like you two - super stars

Love dem kids, always will;

Glad they are now in charge.

AARP, Sunday brunch, another coffee refill.

Let’s take some time and live at-large.

We did it. We’re done.

Awww but dem kids.

They are so much fun.

They are so much fun.
