When I was little and just learning how to swim,
You stood at the side grinning from ear to ear,
Oh how, I remember the excitement bursting at the seams;
It was so much like a dream!
I thought at first you were going in the water with me,
But in a blink of an eye, you pushed me in with so much glee!
I cried and told you I was telling on you,
You just laughed in my face and shrugged any worries too!
I still remember how annoyed I was with you,
But you just brushed it off as nothing new;
And then you said these words to me,
"You're angry now but someday, you'll see,
this is gonna be a fond memory."
