A New Chapter of Life
We look at you and wonder,
“Where have the years all gone?”
What happened to our yesterdays?
It hasn’t been that long…
Since you were learning how to ride a bike
And how to catch a ball.
When did you get so confident?
How did you grow so tall?
We look at you and wonder
At how the years go by,
Who showed you how to find your wings?
Who taught you how to fly?
You stand before us on this day,
Prepared to step into…
A special chapter of your life
Written just for you.
We look at you and wonder…
And then we realize
The time has come to see you
Through different kinds of eyes.
The one whom you’ve grown into
Is a gift beyond the best.
So we tell you that we love you
And we count ourselves
…truly BLESSED.
