I thought of you and me today
A mother and a sonWe once walked side by side
On the beach and in the woods
Your little hands now those
Of a working man
Little league’s first baseman’s mitt
Surrendered to the gods of growth
Of manhood and love yet to be
I thought of you and me today
A sister and a brother
On summer days we rode our bikesAnd swam and watched TV
And then we grew
And grew apart
Our love a childhood memory
I thought of you and me today
A father and a daughter
I used to ride upon your back
And in your faceSaw only love
A love that still enfolds me
I thought of you and me today
A mother and a daughter
You were there at my first breathe
And I was there beside you at your last
Alpha and Omega
We begin and end Each other
