Raspberry Seeds

Raspberry seeds, stuck in between your baby teeth

Blueberry juice, staining your tulip cheeks

Baby’s first steps, holding on to my two legs

And I was only 21, your mother was only 18

And I’m trying, trying harder than I’ve tried before

Oh baby, I’m trying. Trying harder than I’ve tried before

Down with the training wheels, this family learns by scraping their knees

You have your mother’s eyes but your face looks a lot like mine

We only take video of memories

Your mother is 21, and I turned 25 today

And I’m trying, trying harder than I’ve tried before

Oh baby, I’m trying. Trying harder than I’ve tried before

Oh baby, I’m trying. Trying harder than I’ve tried before
