OH, LUCKY ME!

by Teresita Perez

It seems like yesterday
the day you were born
and I saw you for the first time.

It seems like yesterday
when your arrival
turned my whole life into spring time.

Oh, lucky me!
For many years
I've had you living in my home.

Oh, lucky me!
You're quick to scold me
if you think I do things wrong.

It seems like yesterday
when just a baby
and so cute, I held you so.

It seems like yesterday
when you would follow me
and walked so very slow.

Oh, lucky me!
You've been the music
and the perfume of my nest.

My peaceful life
you've turned into
a blessed stress.

God's grace be with you
for you've brought me
happiness.


(My lyrics to Spanish song: Parece Que Fue Ayer)
