not far

this is the truth.
this is the day.
walk with me a little while.
hold my hand.
it's not far.
sit here where it's cool and the grass is soft.
the shade will soothe your eyes.
do you hear water?
do you hear children?
they are your children,
they are my children,
and our children's children.
we can sit and listen
while they play.
this is the truth.
this is the day.
