little folks are people too very much like me and you the little things they say and do they kinda make your day foolishness and common sense through the eyes of innocence skip a rope or jump a fence getting in the way daddy why are you so tall daddy why am i so small and daddy who makes snowflakes fall could it be the lord chasing puppies climbing trees bumping heads and skinning knees it s not very hard to see that kids are gods reward little folks get down and out the girls will cry and boys will pout before you know what it s about they re smiling once again coloured kites on summer breeze jingle bells and christmas trees too soon they re only memories do you remember when daddy what makes eagles fly what makes clouds float in the sky and daddy if i really try will i grow up someday but little folks slip through our hands like so many grains of sand we d best enjoy them while we can so soon they fly away
