Discovery

Well, you finally did it Though you fussed and fought Kicking nearly every step of the way Once I turned you loose There was no holding you back Watching as you tore through the grass I saw you discover a new found freedom And declare a form of independence I knew right then and there That what had fell into your tiny little grasp Would never be let go I could see in those little eyes Just barely five years old A stronger burning fire Than I’ve seen in eyes ten times as old It was the first time I knew for sure My little girl would be all right No matter where life’s path might lead For in that instant of discovery You did so much more Than learn to ride a bike You tasted what having freedom And independence brings to life NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill
