An Incredible Ride

As I walk behind my little hearts

And watch them as they see

The beauty lying before them

And their joy at being free

I wonder how their minds will change

As the years begin to pass

I wonder if the beauty in the simple things will pass

They've been an inspiration

To my tired broken soul

They've pulled me through some hardest times

Not seeing me grow old

Their smiles light up my world

Bring me hope not tinged by the past

In this crazy world of changing times when somehow things don't last

Watching them bloom

Seeing them grow

Flourishing, learning

We reap what we sow

Bringing out feelings of

Love & of pride

Learning life's an incredible ride

Each walk we take reminds me

That there's so much we can learn

Each step we take as we go on

Through rewards that we must earn

Every moment spent discovering life

Through young and open eyes

Reminds me of the simple things

That innocence can reprise

Watching them bloom

Seeing them grow

Flourishing, learning

We reap what we sow

Bringing out feelings of

Love & of pride

Learning life's an incredible ride

So if all I take is a moment of love

When a new thing brings a smile

I'll take it, I'll take it

Let life show us all

How the innocence will beguile

Yes we reap what sow and all

That I know

Is that love is the best way to learn

And with love we will can find

The best state of mind

Find the rewards that we earn

Watching them bloom

Seeing them grow

Flourishing, learning

We reap what we sow

Bringing out feelings of

Love & of pride

Learning life's an incredible ride

An incredible ride
