I sat alone a kindergarten child
Amongst the toys and sand
I dreamed of a future graced with gifts
And holding my father’s strong hand
I sat alone a grade school wonder
Mathematics and spelling my domain
I dreamed of a future filled with wonder
My father’s favor I would gain
I sat alone a high school teenager
Awards given for all I knew and did
I dreamed of a future filled with decisions
Abandoning my father’s kid
I sat alone a young adult
Many mistakes made along the way
I dreamed that I was in kindergarten again
Holding my father’s hand again today
