I Never Knew

I Never Knew

I never knew what it was like to have a sleepless night

Or how it felt for little arms to wrap around me so tight

I never knew how butterflies could make me laugh so hard

Until I watched you chasing one, round and round in the yard

I never knew that I could see myself in some else's eyes

Or how my heart could break from a simple little cry

I never had to mop the floor, when someone took a bath

Or knew you could turn a bar of soap into a bubble raft

I never knew how  fun it was to wake early to watch cartoons

Or how cute it was to hear someone say goodnight to the moon

I never knew how hard it was, to wipe crayon off the wall

Or how I would try so hard to catch you when you'd fall

I never knew Christmas morning, could make for memories

Or how fun it was to string popcorn around a Christmas tree

I never thought I'd know every word, to every Disney song

Or how funny it was to listen to a child that sang along

I never knew I could smile, just watching someone sleep

Or how thankful I could be, for the memories I keep

There's so much I didn't know, so much I never knew

But I know I'm truly blessed now, all because of you

Please Explain

Please Explain

Could someone please explain to me
A few things I don't know
Like why my memory's failng me
The older that I grow
Or why when I drink alcohol
I think that I can dance
When I know I have no rythm
And still I take that chance
Or why when fussing at my kids
I get there names confused
Its hard to make them mind
When I'm laughing with them too!
Or why my husband seems to think
He's the fix it man himself
Which reminds we have to fix the wall
Where he tried to hang a shelf
Or why my children ask me questions
Then argue with what I say
If you already knew they answer
Why'd you ask me anyway?
Or why my feet betray me
And let everyone see me bust my ass
Why couldn't I fall when I'm alone
Or at least trip with a little class
These are just a few questions
I thought I'd ask and see
Cause I know I'm not losing my mind
Then again maybe its just me
