On the Shoulders of Love

From the smallest to the tallest, When your father's trusted hands, Raised you there, to where you touched the sky; You were a child on the shoulders of love, And looking at the world from way up high. And the world was a magical place, With so many things to see and do; And there would be a loving embrace, When the darkness closed in around you. In the morning when sunlight filled the room, And you were ready for another day, You always knew that you were not alone, With someone there to show you the way. And now you have a child of your own, And remember how it was back then, When you were on the shoulders of love, I know you'll make it happen once again.
