I Wish I Were Just A Little Taller

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Sitting upon my Daddy’s shoulders
I could see into the distance
Peering over the heads and obstacles
I could see far more than I imagined

However as I got older
And his shoulders, well they got smaller
No longer could I sit aloft
I Wish I Were Just A Little Taller

The smoke in the distance
Wasn’t signals from the fire
Rather it was life approaching
If Only I Were Taller

I could have seen around the banks
And crossed over the raging seas
Ahead to the calm clear waters
A painted life of luxuries

Alas that wasn’t to be
And hindsight is my friend
And this is the lesson I learn
From now until the end

Being Taller Gave Dad The Advantage
Although He Too Knew Hindsight
As Lessons Are Learnt From Above
No Matter What Your Shoulder Height
