Once I was so very small...

Now I am so big and tall!

Once I was so frail and weak,
My little voice a tiny squeak.

Now I belt out loud and strong;
Listen to my fav'rite song:

"I'm Bob, Bob the fix-it man,
I can fix it, yes I can!"

Once I was a helpless child,
But now I drive my Daddy wild.

I'm his helper all day long,
Using muscles now grown strong.

I follow every step he takes,
Making sure there's no mistakes.

Medical science helps me so,
But even more than that, I know,

Are God's great blessings from above,
And my parents' boundless love.

I have a house up in a tree,
I'm healthy and happy for all to see;

Those who gave me up for lost,
Should SEE the bridges I have crossed!
