I wrote this when I was 15 but now that I have a child it means even more to me. |
A baby needs a parent to love them and care A young child needs a parent to wash and comb their hair Those terrible twos are such a hard time But they're so cute you can't help but let them slide A six year old needs a parent to play games A ten year old needs to be taught it's wrong to call people names A twelve year old is tough and knows it all Then an hour later needs a parents shoulder to bawl A thirteen year old is a new teen They find out the world is rough and mean They need some space because they're learning as they grow There's a lot of pain, suffering, and mistakes as they go Everything's important to a fourteen year old And they'll always do the opposite of what their told Kids get into trouble always have and always will But even with the attitude you'll always love them still Sixteen your baby comes alive Before you know it their able to drive Eighteen their leaving to make it on their own Right before your eyes, you see your baby grown Their walking down the isle now about to say I do Your little baby can't be twenty-two Twenty five already how could this be Your baby is going to have a baby A baby needs a grandparents love and understanding Because growing up can be so demanding |
