God's Precious Gifts
The little voices fill the room like cotton candy to a bag.
Everything gets sweeter when they're near
The most precious gifts God could make
All lined up playing follow the leader
I fondly recall those days as we often try to do
Reliving our youth as a forgotten era
What with the bills, job, you know the grown-up things
It's so vital to the soul to just remember where we were
Where we have been-I've traveled to Mars, Invaded Cowboy Forts
Played hide and go seek, and Tag
Now I play corporate man, husband, father, debt collector
Far I am from the days of Captain Underwear man and his trusty sidekick Boxer Boy
When I hear the laugh of a child, it's like the part of my childhood that will never go
away
It stays. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
