I Wish I Were Just A Little Taller
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

59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
