As I sat listening to the children play
I was remembering back in my day.
When I was a child run amuck
and trouble came and I would duck.
Now as I look onto today
I see the things I did come back my
way.
The new year brings the past alive
for I was remeniscing 1975.
Thinking about all that I used to do,
and all that has been done since 1992.
My history teacher said history repeats
itslelf,
He was so right for I see bits of my past
life on the store shelf.
They sell the same bell bottoms and
faded jeans,
With all sorts of wild colors such as
phosphorescent blues and greens.
Listning to kids in the other room
Oh MY, such impending doom.
It seems we become our parents as we
become a mom or dad,
And we find ourselves saying QUIET
IN THERE and saying EGAD.
It seems we learn more than we think
as years go by,
And we find ourselves asking for
reasons why.
The reason for this letter is to remind
that your kids are watching you,
So do the very best that you can
possibly do.
For the year 1999 is a new decade for
another realm of life,
Teach your children to be a good
husband or wife.
I messed up myself and am trying to fix
what I can,
But God is the one to ask for help
, for
He can show me how to be a man.
He has changed my life and He can
change yours too,
Just start this new year saying Oh God
I give it all to You.
Have faith as we go into the year 1999,
because He can help you with yours,
He helped me with mine.
