The Best Surprise

Stories need heroes and villains

A song needs a catchy tune

But all I need, little darling

Is to be right here with you

A seed needs sun and water

A farmer needs water and land

But all I need, little darling

Is your hand in my hand

You will grow up, kiddo

You wont always be this small

When you’re too big to be little

I’ll wait for your call

As sure as the weather changes

As sure as the sun’s rise

I cant wait to see who you’ll turn out to be

You are the best surprise.
