daddy’s paper

small girl standing on tiptoe

careful not to touch

knowing daddy’s paper

was special

maybe even magic

 

eyes smiling

daddy asked

would you like to help

would you like to see

what the wide wide world

is like

from sky so blue

 

oh my, what a wondrous thought

 

daddy placed his papers

his special “where to fly” papers

on living room floor

small girl stepped around large square

 

see said daddy

this blue line is a river deep

that curved line a mountain steep

here is building tall

there runway waiting

waiting for my plane and me
