...Turn around and you're grown

---

Title is from "Turn Around," a song written by Malvina Reynolds, Harry Belafonte, and Allen Greene; complete lyrics are below.

Where are you goin' my little one, little one?
Where are you goin' my baby my own?
Turn around and you're two
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out the door

Chorus
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door
(Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own)

Where are you goin' my little one, little one?
Little dirndles and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny
Turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own

Chorus

Where are you goin' my little one, little one?
Where are you goin' my baby my own?

I went to my daughter's graduation the other day -- no not from college or high school but from Kindergarten. Believe it or not they do have graduation for Kindergarten. It got me thinking how fast the last six years have gone; one day she was screaming her head off being born and seemingly a few days later she is finishing her first year of school. Before I know it she will be graduating from high school and then college. Time, it goes by so fast.

There are certain songs I can't listen to any more, since my daughter was born. "Turn Around" is one and Joni Mitchell's "Circle Game" is another -- they remind me too well how quickly my little girl is growing up.

I know what you mean.
My "baby" is turning 16 in a few weeks...it seems like it was just yesterday he was graduating from kindergarten. *sigh*

I can feel your love to your daughter. When she grows up and be a young lady, she will know that she is worth to be loved. You are teaching this to her by loving her dearly.

It is very easy to do.
