Oh, how I miss all my children
I do miss the small ones
And the very tall ones
And the in between ones.
Where did my children go?
They all have gone to live their lives
Sam is a sailor man
Tall Paul is a policeman
And Dave is a doorman.
They grew, I did not know.
What happened to my little girls?
Bett is a butcher’s wife
May is a mason’s wife
Paula a parson’s wife
Each one has journeyed far.
And yet the children have returned
I now have a small one
And a very tall one
And an in between one.
They all call me grandma.
