Father Time
A father has all the time in the world
To chase away monsters
creeping under the bed
To slay dragons
setting fires in the closet
A father has all the time in the world
To toss the ball around
in the back yard, with his best boy
To have his hair done
while drinking tea at a party, with his best girl
A father has all the time in the world
And yet, it may seem like in no time at all
His knightly duties are no longer required
His coaching and makeovers, simply scrapbook memories
A father has all the time in the world
To watch his children grow into friends
To share a lifetime of wisdom
And finally be heard
