Watching in amazement, as they grunt and grow and cry
Learning from their mothers voice, as they see and hear and try

This whole world is new to them, too young to reason why
Just walking free in safety, feeling sun and wind and sky

Life is ever changing from the moment of ones birth,
learning and adapting to their future life on earth

On this porch, I'm standing watching many kittens play
As my mind drifts to the future, hoping there will come a day

As I enter the fall of life, I dream that I will see
my children grown, with their own, alive and growing free

As you seek the why in life, take time to have your dreams
You'll see the greatest joys in life aren't toys or homes or schemes

The why of things you're seeking may not be yours to understand
Find the greatest joy of life, play with grand-children in the sand
