the biggest road
Glimmer in a mother's eye
Upon the first breath a stubborn cry
Soothed by a loving hand
Knobby knees and gangly legs
Every day is its own wild adventure
The world is a wonderland
Time passes and adventures thin
A path once wide is suddenly narrow
And none seem to understand
No feat will ever sustain
Where none can slow down to see
The world has become bland
Ever present pleasure and pain
Course through the spindly fingers of time
Falling back to murky sand
