fair is fair: he stole first.

by Charlie Morgan

bending down i appeal to his equality.
he waddles to me, heart, arms stretched,

'come to pawpa'...grinning, arms stretched
as if i could rake in a sheath of stars.

his arms grab my shoulder and heart;
feeling the weight of both, i laugh.

i'm a robber as i steal away with his love
for grandpa who is a grinning piano keyboard.

put a smile on my face, and kind of makes me want to have a kid so that one day i might be able to capture the same feeling...

Another heartwinning song from one of my favorite grinning pawpa pianos! Sing for us some more, Chaz!

aren't kids the most wonderful beings? Their love is honest just like the rest of them! This is beautifully written Charlie, it makes me feel that love
