 The Memories I Keep

Parenthood



One thing remains in life that's good
The reward that comes with parenthood
Challenges and sorrow will fill some days
But triumph and joy will lead the way


Doctor visits and trips to the beach
ABC's and manners to teach
Writing out a Christmas list
Healing boo boo's with a kiss


Misplaced tools and spilled perfume
Countless dashes to the bathroom
Cleaning messes trippin' on toys
Birthday parties filled with noise


Smelly diapers and sleepless nights
Building a snowman and flying kites
School activities and learning to drive
Praying fervently they come back alive


Becoming a hero for smashing a bug
Mending a broken heart with just a hug
Rockin' a little one while they weep
A gentle song to aid their sleep


A baby's first steps and first word
The most pleasing sound's ears have heard
Until they grow with much to do
And reward you with a "I love you"


Challenges and sorrow will fill some days
But triumph and joy will lead the way
One thing remains in life that's good
The reward that comes with parenthood
