babies

Congratulations to MB and Greg on the birth of their son William Robert. Congratulations to Eliza and Adam who are pregnant now. Congratulations to all new moms and dads, etc. Tis the season I believe, for babies.

Toys tossed on the floor
Hand prints on the wall
Slamming of the door
And footsteps down the hall

Boxes made into towers
Covers turned into tents
Voices get a lil' louder
Guide lines get a lil' bent

Boxes now go untouched
Covers in a folded pile
Silence never was so much
Guide lines never been n' awhile

Did we waste our time a way
We once had back then
Never taking time to play
To 'oft we walked right past them

Now they're grown and gone
The house stands still and neat
Only memories left to carry on
Oh, how our hearts do often weep

Would we change time if we could
Would we play a bigger part
Did we get to wrapped up in the world
For now we're left with just
Memories of the heart.
