Alone you enter whaling aloud
So tiny and precious, your mom; so proud
Nine months of waiting, the time is finally here
Your eyes slowly open and see the world, not so clear

Growing and developing every day
You resemble your dad in every which way
Laughing and playing so full of cheer
You reach a new milestone every year

Troubles of the world weigh heavy on your shoulders
More complications as you get older
What was once so simple and carefree
You turned out to be someone you said you wouldn't be

The clock ticks, your time running out
The water stops dripping from the spout
Your children weep and wish for you to stay
Alone you leave, to be seen another day
