It’s just one of things that all parents know

The joy and the wonder that our babies bestow

As we lead and we reach and teach them

From the highest height to the lowest grass stem

We love them, we feed them, we need them

Nearly as much as they need and then

We know that one day we have to let go

Left with our memories that God does bestow

If we have done right, we know we have brought light

But always and forever, they are precious to our sight

Even when as we watch other parents with their babies

Raising them up right to be gentlemen and ladies

It’s just one of those things we will always share

And as every parents tells it, our souls are laid bare
