f t Am Protutto Be, Your Parent
It seems like- it urns yesterday that I held you, when, you, were- all baby's.
But time- has a, way of supping past us unnoticed,.
I dosed My eyes for a, Hioment, and opened, them to find, you, grown.
I miss those- days when, you, spche, your first words,
took your first steps, and, low and caring were- all you, needed.
Those- were- beautiful and, precious times.
But now I am finding your gr own-years are- beautiful and precious, too.
You, are- not only my children, You, are- my friends.
