Once a girl with teeth too long Once a boy with freckles bright.
Now a woman grown Now a man so tall.
Then a girl so lost in her books Then a boy enthralled with chess.
One as valued as the other both so blind to etch other
One to teach one to learn.
Teach of the world from your books fair one
Learn to play the world with your bored my son.
Let not Love be lost between you my children
Let not the world forget you both so soon
forget not how you have came to be.
Live and grow.
Live and grow.
Live and grow.
