Playing laughing wrestling
A father and his sons
They are growing up so quickly
Our time with them almost done
Savoring the memories
While rushing to make more

Their time at home won't end
Soon my boys will be on their own
Trying to make their way
Playing laughing wrestling
Will be lost to yesterday

While she'd play
Masterpiece after masterpiece
