I would like nothing more
Than to watch you grow old
Watch as your story
Before the world unfolds
See the young man
You are bound to become
But alas, I myself
Am not all that young
I’ll still gladly take
All that I can get
Enjoying every moment
That we both have left
Treasuring the time
With your hand in mine
While we do our very best
To keep the memories alive
And that you would love nothing more
Than to be with me as I grow old
Sharing in the story
As we both watch it unfold
Than to watch you grow old
Watch as your story
Before the world unfolds
See the young man
You are bound to become
But alas, I myself
Am not all that young
I’ll still gladly take
All that I can get
Enjoying every moment
That we both have left
Treasuring the time
With your hand in mine
While we do our very best
To keep the memories alive
And that you would love nothing more
Than to be with me as I grow old
Sharing in the story
As we both watch it unfold
We just had our first grandchild 7 months ago and while both my wife and I are overjoyed, I can’t help but think I’m 68 and may not be around (though no one knows the day) long enough to see him grow into adulthood, I will enjoy every minute of the memories we’ll be making ❤️
