Growing Pains

Growing Pains When I thought that I might fall, a hand was there... And I felt so tall! Standing there, beside him then I knew I’d go, where I’ve never been. He taught me things, no one else could know... The things that since have helped me grow. At once a god, then just a man but first I crawled, and then I ran. I ran to see what I could see... And set aside what he’d said to me. I tripped, I fell, I made mistakes. But being young, there were more I’d make. I’d get back up and on I’d run... Forgetting who had taught, how it was done. The years flew by, As fast as I. Now I too put out my hand... To one who needs to learn to stand... And as I do, recall a lad, who thought that God.... was his own Dad FDVD
