"WATCHING JOSHIE GROW"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. This past weekend, my wife and I got to keep our little great grandson, Josh, Sat evening and night and part of Sunday. Everytime he comes for a lengthy visit I have the opportunity to observe him a little more. And each time, its a new experience, the things he does, and the things he says. I realized this time he is growing and growing and growing. What's that old Willie Nelson song, 'Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away'? So true in the case of Joshua Alan:-----I STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF MY HOME, THERE'S ONE THING FOR SURE I KNOW---A PEACE COMES OVER THIS HEART OF MINE, WATCHING JOSHIE GROW---HE IS LEAVING THE STAGE OF INFANT, AND APPROACHING THE STAGE OF BOY---AND QUICKLY LEARNING THE MEANING, OF BRINGING ME JOY---SUCH A QUICK LITTLE MIND HE HAS, IT'S ALWAYS ON THE GO---I WITNESS ALL THE NEW ADVENTURES, WATCHING JOSHIE GROW---BEFORE VERY LONG HE WILL BE A MAN, AND THE YOUNGSTER WILL BE NO MORE---AND I'LL PROBABLY WISH HE WOULD BE THE SAME, AS HE WAS BEFORE---BUT TIME AND AGE WILL CAUSE THIS, AND FROM CHILDHOOD, HE WILL HAVE TO GO---BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET THE MEMORIES OF WATCHING JOSHIE GROW---AND I HOPE HE NEVER FORGETS, THAT I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH---AND I HOPE WHEN HE GROWS UP, HE WILL ALWAYS KEEP IN TOUCH---UNTIL THEN, THE SHADES OF HAPPINESS, WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO FLOW---AND NOTHING WILL EVER TAKE THE PLACE OF WATCHING JOSHIE GROW:-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
