Let Me Lead

Running, dashing, onward
unaware of the obstacles
placed along the path

You are a whirlwind of emotion
dancing, leaping, skipping

Slow it down now,
not so fast,
this is a quiet part

Child, heed my voice,
feel my guiding hand holding yours

Let me lead you along
together we'll dance around
each and every dip and pit in the road

I'll be there to catch you
lift you up when you stumble

You are my delight,
the apple of my eye
I rejoice in you, never leaving

You're off again, in a wild spin
spiraling in all directions

Come back to me
give me your hand once more
and let me lead
