Analysis of Our kids.



Our kids, the extension of you and me.
Their lives still continue to be a mystery.

They are both independent, they are strong.
I knew that God would never steer us wrong.

They are passionate in what they say and what they do.
They now understand exactly all that we've been through.

That some things in life, weren't always as they seemed.
That people weren't always who they thought, when they dreamed.

It's nice to be close, our own little family.
And that they understand you and me.

They have hearts of gold, just like you and I.
I pray that their compassion shall never die.
