To my seven bundles of joy
I gazed at the horizon
As I sat all alone
Then I recalled those occasions
Among loved ones now long gone.
I remember those teen years
Of joy and confusion.
Where love and attention
Seem primordial to hold one's emotion.
Times have changed and life went on
I grew up and got a good education
To move up was my burning ambition,
To achieve success and recognition.
In my career I'm truly blest
As wife and mother I did my best
With a husband's love as my support
I've got the things that I've sought
I'm now retired and what have I got?
Memories of friends long gone
Memories of things I've done,
To make life better for everyone.
