The Story

I walked up stairs into my sons bedroom
He said tell me a story tell me something new
Tell me something that is happy sad and true
I thought to myself and then looked in his eyes
He was growing up fast, exploring life
In that moment something finally came to life
I shared a story that had never been told
About a lonely man twenty seven years old
He was empty inside, needed something bold
With a troubled year he had a whole in his heart
So he walked away to get a fresh start
With just the clothes on his back
He spent his time under the stars

And time turned slowly
His world was growing
The season of his life had changed

My son awake in his light tan bed
With his eager eyes he looked at me and plead
Tell me more please tell me how this story ends
The mountains called and the animals cried
The winds had changes as days turned to night
The sun and moon each looked down from the night sky
He saw it all big as the sky at night
But something was far and didn't feel quite right
And everything changed when he looked into those green eyes

And time turned slowly
His world was growing
The season of his life had changed
Time turned slowly
His world was growing
The color of those eyes had changed

My son asleep lost in distant dreams
As news days drift down the mountain stream
Thank you for this miracle to be
