Sometimes I Forget How Much I've Learned

Sometimes I forget

 how much I've learned in my life

til seeing your hands

Small, sweet, and shaky

you sit in Daddy's strong lap

trying out a fork

I eat without thought

I walk without noticing

speak without effort

But my little love,

you're teaching me to give thanks

for all that I've learned

That God's given life

To me, Dad, and you kids

And time to learn much

So next time I start

belittling my efforts

I will look to you

Clapping your small hands

When you cross the room in strides

Despite a few falls

God smiles on your growth

I've learned He smiles on mine too

Instead I'll rejoice.
