The wonderous look
Upon a baby’s face
Their laugh and where it comes from
Your compelled to trace
A dog wagging his tail
His paw in your hand
Must be playtime
This you both understand
An old favorite photo
Of cherished Mom and Dad
As they look in each other’s eyes
Remembering the life they had
And the one who stole your heart
So many years ago
The look upon your face
How deep that love still shows
The best of times there in your life
All the memories you love to see
There within your heart
Smile, it’s free
