Our children come into the world looking up to us
and immediately we smile
as we realize our life has changed…
and they’ll be with us for a while.
They look up to us from their crib,
from their place on the floor where they crawl
and we smile and we wonder…
will they forever be this small?
They look up to us as they grow up,
they look up to us in all we do…
and somewhere while they’re looking up to us…
we help shape their point of view.
As they continue to grow we smile…
at how time flies quickly by…
And before we know it we’re standing face to face…
and they look us in the eyes…
And then one day we sit back smiling proudly….
and from where does our smile stem?
After all those years they looked up to us…
we now look up to them.
