Big dog to little dog
You’re smaller, I’m taller
That’s how it is for now
Every day, run and play
We’ll romp together
Whatever the weather
And you will grow, I know
To be bigger than me
And one day you will say
Big dog to little dog…

Grew up learning to cook
From Grandma’s worn-out book
A nibbler and picker
Watched my waist got thicker
With every taste I took

It’s the feeling you have
When there’s something you’ve done
From your heart, just for fun
And no one knows

Tricycles woo toddlers
To come and play outside
Where they can take a ride
In the driveway
Precursor to future
Adventures yet to come
Two wheelers and then some
They’ll drive away

Worry serves no purpose
And might increase grey hair
While into space you stare
Wondering why
Choose to give your power
To what you’d like to see
Celebrate what’s to be
As if it were
