Hold my hand as we cross the street

And never take for granted that your feet

Carry you from place to place

And always do without a trace

Of complaint

 

Remember this moment as we stroll

Along the sidewalk feeling whole

Hand in hand and two by two

And know this mem’ry will be true

To hold

 

But fleeting as it always is

And easy to forget amidst the bliss

Of evry day events like this

Like all those time your ma did kiss

Your brow

 

So baby girl, come along

And yes keep skipping to that song

That plays it’s tune inside your head

As there will come a day that you’ll be led

Away

 

That’s not too say away is bad

It’s natural you’ll meet a lad

Or lady or thing that will bring you near

To them and then my only fear?

Remorse

 

So take it in and spend your time

Etching the rote, the dozen a dime

Remember the things that you found sweet

A cuddle, a comfort, a little treat 

The spring

 

And take them with you when you go

In your body, your mind, your soul you’ll stow

The goodness of your childhood dreams

You’ll find you always have a way to beam

You home
