From your first Gasp of breath
from the size of one foot tall
I would not let you hurt yourself
I would not let you fall.
When you laid high up in the bed
and when you'd start to crawl
I would not let you hurt yourself
I would not let you fall.
When nightime came you'd go to bed
but saw shadows on the wall.
And when scary thoughts went through your head,
Why was it daddy you would call?
Cause you knew I Would not let you hurt yourself
I would not let you fall
How come through the years from buddy we become foe?
From knowing we become slow?
Do they not remember the love, the giving, & protection
Or is all you see is the direction &correction
Can't you see correction & direction is love's
echo in the hall?
saying "I would not let you hurt yourself,
I would not let you fall"
Do they not remember, or is the past
all but a stain
Is the nurturing of the past
washed away by the future rain .
Who is left
My princess and Buddy,
is this path is all set?
One knows I love them,
the other is starting to forget.
When time turns the page
and heaven starts to call.
I still would not let you hurt yourself
I would not let you fall
~Dad~
