You're not who you were. You're not who you will be. You're part way up your steep frail stair And always will be. You're a part completed work. You're perfect as you are. You're emerging as from aged oak block, A part-seen piece of art. You're a faint chime in the wind. You're a symphony by Brahms. You're an orchestra tuning up At last night at the proms. I love you as you are. I love all you will grow to be. As I hold you in my arms Lost in your newborn beauty.

You're not who you were. You're not who you will be. You're part way up your steep frail stair And always will be. You're a part completed work. You're perfect as you are. You're emerging as from aged oak block, A part-seen piece of art. You're a faint chime in the wind. You're a symphony by Brahms. You're an orchestra tuning up At last night at the proms. I love you as you are. I love all you will grow to be. As I hold you in my arms Lost in your newborn beauty.
I have 2 adult offspring. I still recall the wonder I felt when they were new born. They haven't disappointed.
