*** please please forgive me
If I seem to take us for granted
Sometimes it's just so easy
You think that having roots...
... Means that life is truly planted
I can see now what I wasn't showing
Like anything meant to continue growing
I am guilty of neglecting the weeds
And all the work it takes to keep up with your needs

I'll pay more attention from now on
As you get to know our fresh new flower our daughter
While I get to know and show our son how it should be done
What to do when  the dry and dusty foundation of our life...
....needs attention and water

Don't know where my head was
But it wasn't where it should have been
That was a boy that thought all it takes is to plant the seed
But it's the man I now am who  knows that's where my life really did begin
