why are you happy? little one,
you smile so brightly like the sun
you're just a babe only one.
unaware of the things we have done
so eager to learn
how to walk, how to run.
I remember when life seemed fun
jumping around with the other children,
hide and seek, and peek a boo
it's my turn to run, after you
perplexed expressions, where'd she go?
up high, maybe down low
down the river we must row
are boats and rubber floats.
where did all the wonder go
when did the river start to flow
so quickly, rushing , it's a blur
I have forgotten all that we were.
we travelled unprepared
I can see, you are scared
I will hide you in my heart
we just have to play the part
one day you'll come out again
I have no idea when?
Goodbye. i'll see you then.
