We don't know their names, but their sacrifice makes us free. Don't take your rights for granted...

Where Does The Time Go?

How fast our children grow up .....

This weekend, my daughter Joan, my only child, was married to the love of her life, Ryan. I wish them all the happiness in the world.

It seems like only yesterday her mother and I brought her home from the hospital on a snowy, icy day. That was more than 24 years ago. Fast forward those months and years, a lot of water and events have moved under the proverbial bridge.

You two seem to be made for each other. Joan, Ryan, I hope you two have a wonderful life together!

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well, some of that we did but some we didn't
And why, I just don't know

 Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it, Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time .....
