I'm Just a Child


You were once like me Young, innocent and free Forgive me, if sometimes I act so wild Remember, I'm just a child I might annoy you and make you mad But deep inside, my little heart is sad I'll be like this only for a while Remember, I'm just a child Outside I play in the snow and dirt I'm sorry for the smudges on your pretty shirt Come play with me and see my smile Remember, I'm just a child Kindergarten is a fun place to be But I still prefer to stay home with my mommy She is more fun and has more style She knows, I'm just a child College was an experience and now I'm grad I owe it all to my dear mom and dad "Congrats you are hired" my boss said with a smile It gave me that old feeling, I'm just a child I took my child to the park today His eyes gleamed when i said "let's play" His fly ball broke my phone and he started to cry My son looked at me and said "Daddy, forgive me, for I'm just a child" "Its ok son" I said fighting back the tears Children are so smart in their early years Time goes by in the blink of an eye Never forget, when you were just a child
