He's still to young to understand
Is what I think as I dial the phone
I say I'm going to miss his 11th birthday
and thanksgiving with him too
both on the same day this year
but not a dam thing I can do

I explain great gramp needs me here
that his vision is failing him
he needs someone to give him a hand
there's no one here but me
and not a dam thing I can do

The tears on my face flow
as I listen to his words
He tells me it's OK another day will do
tells me he'd do the same
"for gramp and for you
And there's nothing you can do"

Why would you think I wouldn't understand
he demands to know
I'm picturing his head cocked to one side
as he is so prone to do
I smile and then laugh
say I'm just glad that you do
cause there's not a dam thing I can do

I change the subject to him
he changes it back to gramp
now my heart is lighter
and filled to all it can hold
proud of the boy in his youth
a glimpse of the man of tomorrow
I smile and am ever so grateful
that for him-there's not a dam thing I need to do...

that speaks right to my heart..smiles
