My little girl skips into my room

Her smile still touches my heart

The same as it did the day she was born

I've loved her from the start



As my son sits in my lap

I think how all this came to be

The little feet I look at now

What will they take him to see

I wonder what will they go through

I look in their face and can only stare

Who will they marry, how bout children

Will they feel heartache or despair





What will they become

Maybe a mom, maybe a dad

Will they follow in my foosteps

Or have opportunities I never had



As I ponder on all of this

The memories fly into my mind

The first time I held them

The way their fingers gripped mine



There are always moments

Throughout every day

I'll not want to forget

I hope they never fade



As I watch them both grow up

And realize how time flies

Today, they are my little ones

Tomorrow, could be goodbye



If nothing else, I hope they know

God's watching all the time

And remember that I love them

And will always call them mine

Friends Are Needed When Facing Life's Crossroads

I sometimes wonder what life would be like


If I would have walked down a different pike


I could have done this; I could have done that


Maybe I could have avoided that spat


With a loved one I have or a good friend fo mine


Things would have been different, if only I would have had a sign





This may be cheesy, but I really think


If I could change things with only a blink


Everyone would be as happy as me


Because that's how I'd want it; I'd want them to see


That by choosing paths wisely instead of jumping right out


By getting advice; growing up and don't pout





You will be better off, just take your time


Make good choices and you'll be just fine


Remember I'll be here. I'll be cheering for you


Hoping you will be happy with whatever you might do


I hope as your life goes by, you won't look back and say


I wish things were different, so, I don't think I'll stay





Look far into the future and think about each step


It will take to get there and how you want to be kept


Again, don't forget me, as I wait to see what you do


I will always be your friend and no matter what, I'll be here for you!
