"I REMEMBER WHEN"

MANY YEARS AGO IN LA LA LAND, GOD GRANTED BIRTH TO A BABY GIRL---AND I REMEMBER LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY THE MOMENT SHE ENTERED THIS WORLD---A NEW BORN BABY TO AN INFANT TO A TODDLER AND FINALLY SHE BECAME A KID---AND I'M GLAD I WAS AROUND TO EXPERIENCE ALL THE GOOD AND SILLY THINGS SHE DID---WE WOULD GET IN THE CAR, DRIVE DOWN THE STREET, AND STOP AT THE CITY PARK---SHE WOULD RIDE THOSE RIDES AND SLIDE THOSE SLIDES AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD STAY 'TIL DARK---SHE WAS MY ANGEL, MY SHINNING LIGHT, MY BEAUTIFUL TWINKLING STAR---MOVIES AT THE MALL, SHE SAW THEM ALL, I EVEN TAUGHT HER TO DRIVE A CAR---THEN SHE BECAME A TEENAGER AND BEGAN SHARING A YOUNG GIRLS JOYS---SLUMBER PARTIES AND BIRTHDAY GIGS AND BOTH EYES ON MOST OF THE BOYS---THEN OVERNIGHT THE FAIRY TALE ENDED AND THE LITTLE GIRL BECAME GROWN---AND SHE CHANGED HER LIFE AND BECAME A GOOD WIFE, RAISING THREE GIRLS OF HER OWN---I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE SNOWY WINTERS AND THE HEAT FROM THE BOILING SUMMER SUN---I WISH WE COULD RETURN TO THOSE DAYS ONCE AGAIN, BACK WHEN WE REALLY HAD FUN---BUT I REALIZE ONCE AGAIN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN NEVER EVER BE---BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN INSIDE MY HEART, FOR SHE'S MY GRAND DAUGHTER, kendra leigh---I THINK IN LIFE GOD LOOKS DOWN AND SEEMS TO GIVE US A TEST---AND I KNOW SHE MADE THE HIGHEST GRADE AND I WISH HER THE VERY BEST---SO LIVE ON CHILD AND MAYBE SOMEDAY MOTHER NATURE WILL READ YOUR PALM---AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT ALL, I THINK HER NAME IS "MOM":-----This is TWO TEXAS PAWPAW, signing off.
