Jack was sitting in his study. Working on some case files. Turning on the news a man by the name of Oliver Thompson was being interviewed. The news caster Jerry White asked him what the secret to life is. Wouldn't I like to know Jack thought? Lately he and sue were fighting a lot. Mostly about money ever since the department had to take cut backs. Including pay cuts. The Man looked up from his smoking pip and said all I can say is..."

I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Jack stared at a picture of him and sue. They may not be high school sweet harets but they waited for ever it seemed like to get married. His eyes moved to the next picture of Lily and Ryan. They were now 10 and 5. his princess was starting school in a week and his little man was on his last year of elementary school.

Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

Jack moved his eyes back to the TV. His green eyes felt like they were staring at him. Jack had been working a lot of overtime in order to make up for the lost money. He was always working missing football and softball games. Something had to change. He closed his case file and put it away.

I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Jack decided to make reservations for His and Sues 10th anniversary.
"Hey Bobby"
"Ya mate"
"Can you help me..."

Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

"I love you Jack" Sue told her husband as they walked inside their house "tonight was perfect Thank you"
" Well when you have been married for 10 years It is a reason to celebrate" Jack smile taking Sues coat. "I am sorry for not being there these past few months."
"I know" Sue smiled hugging him. Then lead him to the bedroom.

So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
I've been tryin' ta take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

That Saturday The Hudson family sat on the couch watching The Absent Minded Professor.
Jack Thought back to Oliver Thompson. This was the life he was talking about. He made it to every game and recital in the past 3 weeks. He and Sue relaxed about the money situation. Life was good and Jack wanted this life for ever.

Don't blink
