A baby I was,
A child I grew.
Where the world was still so new,
When laughing, running and playing outside,
We're always my favorite things to do.
When I use to believe in fairy tales,
That a prince would come to rescue me,
But some how that naive dream vanished.
A Child I was,
A teen I grew.
Just like all teens playing faded from my mind,
And my days were spent tying up the line.
I often fought with you for my individuality
And I knew that learning how to drive,
Would allow me to leave my childhood far behind.
A teen I was,
But not quite more,
18 is the age that things must change.
High school graduation brought tears to my eyes,
Because I knew that I could never re-live those years,
And all that remains is the memories.
College suits me well,
I've begun my own path,
I've learned the meaning of a higher education.
Studying to better myself and
Learning from my mistakes,
While still having time to
Party, drink, and act crazy,
With my friends
A baby is how you'll remember me,
That little girl is who you'll always see,
My teenage years seem a life time ago,
As I stand before you, in my college cap and gown.
I don't remember every little thing that you did,
But I do know that you did it all for me.
Teaching me to do my best;
So that someday I'd be ready to leave the nest
