INNOCENCE - Monkey Dan and Little Man

Monkey Dan and Little Man

Hold on, Monkey Dan, keep him company

While he takes a break from all his activity,

While he dreams the dreams of a toddler's mind,

Of Mommy, Daddy, and animals of every kind.

He has been so busy just exploring things,

That this great big world just to him brings,

He saw a bird flying high into a tree,

He saw a lizard as green as it could be.

He sings the songs he hears in his own special way

And he gains more knowledge every day,

But there with Monkey Dan in the midst of sleep,

I pray that God will this little one keep.

I look at his little face so sweet,

His little arms, his little hands and feet,

And a picture as plain as it can possibly be,

Of innocence, that is what I truly see.

So many things will do their very best

To give that innocent little heart unrest;

Right now he has a heart that is pure and clean,

May it never be filled with what's dirty and mean.

Right now he can hold onto Monkey Dan,

And he is definitely our Little Man,

But may we always teach him the way

To keep innocence in his life each day.

So, for now, Hold on Monkey Dan, keep him company,

While he takes a break from all his activity;

While he dreams the dreams of a toddler's mind,

And may there alwasy be love there for him to find.

Love, PawPaw
