Growing Up WE Say
 
 
 
 

A Grandmother Weeps

The tears we feel in our eyes,
along with the lump in the throat and the warm feeling inside.
Growing up - We Say!

To all the dandy lions picked as flowers,
to the artwork made special just for you.
Growing Up - We Say!

To the first ouch,
to the day of school,
to the first time we watch them in their first school program.
Growing Up - We Say!

To the first time they wake up in the night scared or sick,
to the first time they stay out late.
Growing Up - We Say!


When we wonder how fast they have grown.
Each step they have taken from Elementary to Junior High
Growing Up - We Say!

From their first crush,
to their first date,
to their first broken heart.
Growing Up - We Say!

To the first dance at prom,
to the first kiss good night,
to the first true love.
Growing Up - We Say!

From High School to College,
to the first time they move out on there own,
just down the street or faraway.
The tears we feel in our eyes,
along with the lump in the throat and the warm feeling inside.
Growing up - We Say!

When did the little girl turn into a young lady,
the little boy into a gentleman?
Growing Up - We Say!

Even after they have children of there own,
all grown up, we still have tears,
lumps in our throats and the warm feeling inside.
Growing Up -We Say!
