Oh-So Fast
Spinning, spinning
Oh-so fast
Giggles, giggles
Smiles to last
Dizzy and dazed
The world catches up to me
And I relax amazed
At all this energy
She can't pause for a second
For she knows time's not to waste
And so again I am beckoned
To swing and spin with much haste
Colors fly by and it's all that I see
There are no objects, no focus
Except for the little hands gripping me
I feel at peace in this simple race
My only job is to beat the world
And put a smile on her angelic face
All this simplicity is all that she needs,
Dreaming and doing all that she can,
Seeing flowers rather than weeds,
Making sure that the world can be outran
Never thinking past the night
Today's her only concern
And today she wants to see a sight
Of the world at its fastest turn
"Faster! Faster!"
Oh-so fast
Laughter, laughter
Smiles to last
