As I sit by the river
inside the arms of a tree
the water runs clear
and the weather is so sweet.
A little bird is singing
the most beautiful of songs
as I watch you play
all day long.
Fifty years have past or so
I still sit by the river,
my hair has turned all grey
my hands are warm but wrinkly.
The little bird is singing
still sings a beautiful song
and I watch you play
all day long.
I turn into the water
I look more like a grandma
I’m bigger but I’m sweeter
at least you’re here with me.
“Have you not changed, son?
Not at all?”
“I’ll always be here mom.
Six years old.”
