You've come a long way, baby

You've come a long way, baby,

from wiggling and chubby cheeks 

to standing tall, slender and stylish in shorts

to walking to riding, clad in Lycra, 

with the pack.

your smile was the constant and 

one of the reasons I fell in love with you.

You've come a long way, baby,

from being one with Buddy to 

being two with me, you have your space,

I have mine, we have ours,

we have one travel itinerary and try not

to get lost.

you've come a long way, baby,

with your new car and working hard

to retire early so you can play with me.

I've come a long way, baby.

It takes two to tango and we're 

dancing.
