The days are long, the years are short
That’s what they say, at least
But I can already feel time flying
Just minutes ago, it seems
Your tiny body fit into the crook of my arm
And now already, I need two arms to hold you
How quickly you have grown
In just days, it seems
I’ve watched your eyes open wide
Seeing, watching, learning
Everyday a new adventure, getting to know the world through you
In just a few short months
I’ve watched you come alive to the world around you
Soaking in every moment
Knowing how quickly they come and go
Time has a whole new meaning
More precious than ever before
It is our biggest blessing, every minute I have with you
But fleeting, it passes way too soon
It’s like I was born again, that day with you
Everything is new for me, too
We’re figuring it out together
I just hope we have enough time.
