Having a child - son 'r daughter - has been likened ta havin' yer heart walk around outside yer body.
Those complex emotions near departure time are an interestin' source of deep feelin's.
But I reckon' some a this stuff should stay where it's felt -in yer heart.
When you get all mushy like this 'n front of everybody... well... folks might start to thinkin' yer a bad poet 'n stuff.
Some words should hit the air like silence
