Playing on the Hill

(For Katie & Luke, playing out back)

You play upon the hill.
I look and smile 'til,
Responsibility
Is calling out to me.
So back to work I go,
A day's hard work to show.
But still I look away,
Loving to watch you play.
Running around the tree,
Two precious gifts to me.
I'll pause a moment more,
A father's heart must soar.
For sooner than I think,
As quickly as a blink,
My work will be there still,
Without you on the hill.
