Is It Okay If I Complain

Look at you now, you're all grown up
Practical hair frames a face I've thought of
Your shoulders are square defiantly straight
You smile when you speak as if thankig the fates

But those eyes have never changed
And that stare remains the same
Is this what time does to us?
Is this how things change?
Is this how I age with you?
Is it okay to complain

Look at you now, you're all grown up
Kids at your feet, their faces need scrubbed
Your body is used as it carefully waits
For your family to grow up and escape their fates

But those eyes have never changed
And that stare remains the same
Is this what life does to us?
Is this how families change?
Is this how I age with you?
Is it okay to complain?

Look at you now, you're all grown up
Your spouse and you have broken up
You call every week and we talk until late
You squirm in your seat as if delaying the fates

Your eyes have never changed
Because that stare remains the same
Is this what God does to us?
Is this how things change?
Is this how I age with you?
Is it okay if I complain?
