my they went by so damn fast
out you went into the night
unafraid without a light
Rosie had to go outside
always by each others' side
the garden a charm in daylight
treacherous in the dark of night
out of the window you saw me
you rushed out when i grazed my knee
you helped me stand up from my falls
scolded others who called me a fool
you used to stand oh so tall
now i fear you may take a fall
i offer you a helping hand
getting you on your feet to stand
time for school you always said
as you roused me out of bed
now i sit by yours instead
old memories fill our heads
we reflect upon times gone by
and ponder on many whys
sharing stories of the past
and sharing many a good laugh
i read to you newspaper stories
we discuss the gory and glory
we talk of how times have changed
and how things just aren't the same
