Crisp, cold mornings
Blinking away the morning dew
We'd marvel at the cobwebs
Frost-woven and glistening
Along that country road
I'd follow you...
In wonder and awe
You showed me a magic
That made life feel like a thousand open doors
And warm Summer evenings
I remember a watering can
And words of encouragement
- The saplings needed our support
To become the mighty trees
We believed them to be,
And on the nights you couldn't make it
I'd still go down and whisper into their leaves
And to this day,
The trees are just as magic to me...
What a beautiful simplicity
You planted so early on in my heart
So, that many years on
When things got tough on my own
Deep down,
I always knew where to start...
- To return to the wonder and awe
You showed me a compassion
That continues to flower in my heart
And looking back
To when we'd run a thousand circles
'Round that track
...I was discovering my feet
The feeling of a louder heartbeat
And a trust in my steps
That would carry me through
But for those evenings
I was lucky enough to share all those steps with you...
Running high on wonder and awe
You showed me a joy
That permeates my being
To infuse each day with a purpose and a meaning
And a passion for living
...Because of all your giving
I am still standing here
In wonder and in awe
Still seeing the magic and the possibility
Of all that is yet to come
Because of all that has gone before
- Still standing here,
With your gifts that have been the keys
For a life that feels like a thousand open doors.
