Poem

While looking together to far distant mountains
Reaching high into clear evening air
Seeming to speak much wiser than years
He asks, "Daddy can you take me there?"

Another day, spotting a train clattering by
Silently watching its lumbering fare
Counting to himself, the first of its cars
Then asking if I could please take him there

Often it is utterances similar to these
From a mind of striving, unquenchable thirst
Airplanes and water towers and ships traversing seas
Seemingly, always something new to unearth

Ever pleading, but always proudly
For understanding just beyond grasp
Becoming a little boy before my eyes
Long since removed are his nursery wraps

The longing to experience newfound wonder
Pushes his footsteps in front of his path
Behind I follow in childish anticipation
Cherishing memories and building tomorrow's past

I learn more about life in each he discovers
God ever clearer with this learning anew
All these years I've walked my own way
Now I realize our days together too few

His journey is only recently beginning
And my past experiences to him are just that
So we'll walk his path together in peace
Counting and reading and jumping our craft

And as monuments and majesty come before us
I'll be guiding the way of my eager young care
I knowingly await what soon he'll be asking
"Daddy, can you take me there?"
