When Are Eyes Just Want To Take A Quick Peek
Just In Time For Christmas
Remember as far back as you can
When you were just a little tike
When your mom still had to wipe your nose
Remind you to say please and say thank you
You were just learning wrong from right
Do you see yourself buttoning your shirt and ending up with an extra button because you missed one
Then looking at the shirt all crooked
Now have to unbutton all the work you just did
Tiring isn't it ?
Eating something at the table and then watching that little bit of food that never makes it to your mouth
Down on your good shirt that you just put on
Oh come on be more careful
Think that was bad how about reaching over for your glass of milk and watching it spill
Across the table then down the table leg hitting the kitchen floor with a tap tap tap
Trying to get the toothpaste to stay on such a little brush
Reaching up to spit in the sink and thinking this is cool
Having your food cut up for you so you wouldn't choke
Learning to tie your shoes the hard way
By tying them tight and taken only a few steps and the lace is loose again
Then having someone help you so you don't trip
Crawling into bed at night and blessing everyone by name in your prayers
Starting with your family then working your way to your friends even the ones you fought with today
Don't forget your dog boo boo that needs some extra love
Writing in school and feeling your hand cramp
Sitting on your butt until it turns numb
Trying to put your socks so they are not all crooked
Then the big one making sure your shoes are on the right feet
So if it is a Christmas present that isn't opened
You trying to explain the tear in the paper was their I swear
On top of the list is to have all your friends in your same class
Almost having the teacher who is the maddest you have ever seen
It is amazing we survived
Going through each struggle like it was the end of the world
As we close this chapter and open up a new one
I am still curious and if you let me look I will never tell
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye
