Seems I met you in my early youth.

And then, again when I was ten.

Then again when I was in my teens.

I really don't remember just when.

Sure, you were there on my wedding day.

For I was happiest of all men.

And you were there when my kids were born.

Couldn’t have prouder been

Through each and every Grandchild’s birth.

I felt your presence once again.

Oh yes, I’ve grown to know you well.

Now please, stay around until the end.

ACROSTIC
