Little Steps

Let’s walk out into the world

Where wandering winds unfurl
Where lillies dance and fields of wheat weave

Taking you down the dark lane to see the insects crawl
One summer day

Walking your little legs
progress slow but you learn all the same

Those are the days we remember
But now you are older and you want adventure

And my bones weary and slower
Still climb the hill with you
when our paths cross

Soon this world will be yours.
