Buttons

 Zippers and bandaids buttons and fly’s
kisses and neck hugs and wet smiling eyes.
Oh’ where did the time go
my heart still lives there ~ you know.

I use to be ___ relied on
to see your every needs were met.
Oh’ how could I ever forget
when all your love, was all for me, all the time.

I use to be ___the fun one
who caused a laugh or two
safe haven for some silliness too
when all giggles and nursery rhymes were mine,

I use to be ___the strong one
the always steady safety net
the one to fight your every fret.
when you were scared of the shadows I’d set you free

I use to be ___ the sure one
you could always come running to
I’d be right there beside you.
when I was the one who planed~ your world to see.
where did she go___ the one I use to be .

Zippers and bandages buttons and fly’s
kisses and neck hugs and wet smiling eyes.
Oh’ where did the time go __
my heart still lives there ~ you know.
