 Growing Up With ...

My child is growing up so fast.

In many ways she's just like me,

Reminding me of my times past.

A little stinker I could be.

But my parents helped me along,

Taught me the choice to do a right

When I was caught doing a wrong.

I've tried to give my child insight

That ev'ry day, choices be made.

And when we err as humans do,

Older and wiser can give aid.

Growing up's hard, but up I grew.

I hope that when I'm dead and gone,

I'll be in my child and live on.
