"children"
What would you see if you looked through a child's eyes?
The world would be a mystery,
Just one big surprise.
What do they feel when holding daddy's hand?
They would feel ruggedness and hard work,
The sign of a man.
What do they hear when listening to mommy's lullaby?
They hear a soft, calming voice,
That they know would never lie.
What do they smell when walking in ma maw's front door?
They smell chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, and more.
They'll remember playing house with their sister,
Or racing cars with their Bro.
And they'll look back on these memories,
As each year they grow.
They remember papaw's songs and him playing the guitar.
And they'll recall stories of the war,
That he told them in the car.
They'll remember Christmas, the family, and the sight.
But they probably won't remember,
What all new toys that they got.
They remember love,
Which will help them through their life.
And they'll pass that love on to their children,
And their husband or their wife!
