Where Did The Years Go

Oh where did the years go?
When you came into my life,
You were all arms and legs.
As a toddler you were oh so
Cute and oh so cuddly to hold.

Your childhood years seemed like
Such a big blurr to me.
There was so much turmoil in my life.
Before I knew it you were in your
Teens so very smart and pretty too.

Oh where did the years go?
They seemed to have just flown by.
You turned into a beautiful young
Woman before my very eyes,
Strong willed with a mind of your own.

You married a really great guy
And became a wonderful, loving wife.
Within five years you blessed us
All with not one but three, yes three
Oh so very, very beautiful grandchildren.
Who have such a tender, caring mother in you.
Oh where, oh where did the years go?
