"I don't want to sit in church alone"
We used to take the entire pew...and now we're down to just a few
Bodies in a little row...where did all my children go?
Lindsay's gone and Katie too...off to school as children do...
Heidi and Kristi gone so long....with their own families...where they belong
Soon Nikki will grow up and head out, that just makes me want to shout
"I don't want to sit in church alone...showing obviously "my children are grown"
So David stay and sit right here, whisper loudly in my ear,
Make it so I cannot hear, the sermon or the sacrament, asking when we can go home,
Just keep squirming in your seat, telling me you need to eat,
And yes I know, I'll sit by Kim...the two of us, alone again
We started there - perhaps it's just, and not really worth all the fuss
But so much happened since that start, when we began this work of heart,
filling up the bench was fun, as we added one by one
each child to our menagerie, from 5 sweet girls to baby D
It goes so fast...so can it be, that soon it will be Kim and me,
sitting there in church alone - because our children all are grown?
