Here I stand on the sidelines at the games and always in the front row
You scan the crowd until you eyes rest on me and comfort sets in your face
I'm in awe watching your strength, filling with pride in every move that you make
Here I stand watching every single independent step you take
Ignoring my advice when the path you choose is not the one I made
I will believe the best lessons you learn are from your own mistakes
And I do believe the fondest memories come from the greatest heartaches
I will be here, I will always be here to hold your hand in mine
To tell you with my honest words that life may not be fair or even just fine
Life will do what you make of it, even through the darkness there is light
So here I stand waiting to catch you when you can no longer feel the fight
That fight will grow old and in its place belief and wisdom will reside
I'll see it....it'll be a look, a nod, or even a smile that you try to hide
That's when I'll know you no longer need me to guide that childhood life
Here I'll stand watching this young adult take over that beautiful baby of mine
On my sidelines, I am in awe of who you are, the person you are today
Here I stand wishing I could freeze time, keeping you with me always
Sometimes the best advice comes from the places we least expect
You taught me to never dwell, but cherish and love this life without regret
You bring alive the sounds of childhood, the smiles in the memories
You bring alive the reason God gave us this life, this blessed family
You are the reason I stand here, filling with pride in every move you make
The reason I scan the crowd for you til comfort sets in my face
