Where Did Time go?
The children playing, running all around, laughter fills the air as the little ones chase the dog. Everyone just sitting around waiting for the family dinner.
I ponder of a time not too far in the past when it was just me and my mom and my own dad.
You say to yourself, while giving Laura my new bride of five years a wink,
Where did time go?
The children are older now, and it seems as though the yesterdays just past right on by.
Watching the not so little one anymore, spinning a basketball.
The phone rings for your baby girl who isn’t a baby anymore and it’s a boy on the phone.
You say to yourself, and give Laura my wife of 15 years another wink,
Where did the time go?
You watch as your boy walks across the stage to receive his diploma,
Next year will be your daughters turn. Your youngest son walks over to you to give you a hug and asks to borrow the keys to your car. Your daughter asks if he can drop her at a friends house for the night.
You say to yourself, while winking at Laura my mate of 20 years,
Where did the time go?
Looking at your daughter how beautiful she is, as you walk her arm in arm down the aisle To be wed. You glance over at your handsome son, sitting there holding your lovely Grandchild .You may now kiss the bride, is all you hear along with some sniffling happy tears and I realize they are my own.
The limo pulls away and she goes off to her honey moon, as your son puts his hand on your shoulder. You look at him with sobering smile.
And say to yourself, while winking at his true love of 24 years
Where did the time go?
Sitting on the porch rocking in my chair, The brown has turned to gray in my hair, I watch the grandchildren playing with the dog they got a few months ago.
One of them looks up at me. Grandpa this dog sure has grown up quick. Where did the time go?
And I just smile and laugh in that Grandpa way. With glistening eyes I say while giving a him hug. and winking at Laura again after 30 years
Time is right here my child. Time is right here.
Then I give him that granpa funny face that alway's made them all giggle.
