Another Chance
Oh, to be a child again,
When life was easy, little pain,
With Mama and Daddy standing by,
My hurts to kiss, my tears to dry.
I sang and played in halcyon days,
Nor stopped to give a word of praise
For a childhood of such pure delight
And angel guardians through the night.
Mama and Daddy now are gone
And others too have traveled on.
Each day I face another task
And in my prayers I sometimes ask
Oh, to be a child again
When life was easy, little pain.
