Father; I'm Walking Through The Fields, Where We Walked Long Ago
~~
I’m walking thru the fields where we walked long ago,
in summers thru tall pasture grass. In winters thru deep drifted snow.
~~
You taught me to delight in everything along the way,
special rocks, walking sticks, little baby animals, sunsets at the end of every day.
~~
You taught me to work cleverly, you showed me to work hard.
You helped me build play houses, and a sand box in the yard.
~~
You loved every season, delighted as they'd come and go,
measuring each rain drop, building sculptures with each snow.
~~
You showed me how to laugh and you showed me how to cry.
You seldom let a moment of your life just pass you by.
~~
There always is a part of you in everything I do.
As I look back, I see there is a part of you in me.
~~
