The Memory of Passing 10

It seems like only yesterday
I was just a squirt of a guy
Marching away back home from school
Watching the clouds go by

Course now that I've grown older
I'm wiser about such things
Cause I've learnt that the clouds are always there
Like the color on butterflies wings

Some things just don't interest me no more
Now that I'm passing ten
Like little trucks and cars and such
And games of "Lets pretend"

Now I like more sporty things
Like surfing and swimming pools
Now things like that most anyone
Would haft to thing is cool

Mom says I'm getting taller
And I guess perhaps she"s right
Cause Jest the other day I noticed
My pants are getting tight

My dad says getting " Too Smart "
An I don't think he means my brain
Cause he said it after my brand new mitt
Was ruined in a mess of rain

But God luv them both and give them strength
To hold on tight as kin be
Cause I think they're gonna need it
Time they're through raising me!!!
