Mama Walk A Little Slower

Mama walk a little slower-

        Time is running fast,

Guide my little footsteps-

         Into ways that last.

Mama walk a little slower-

        I’m only little now,

Take the time to “chat” with me-

        And to show me “how.”

Mama walk a little slower-

        I want to talk to you,

You are the one I love the most-

         I want to be like you!

Mama walk a little slower-

       Guide these steps of mine,

Show me the way to go-

        And I will follow thine!

Mama walk a little slower-

       And I will see the way,

Take the time to show me “how”-

       And take the time to play.

Mama walk a little slower-

       I’m looking up to you,

Guide these little steps of mine-

       I am counting on you.

Mama walk a little slower-

       I am growing up you say,

Take the time to bend down low-

       Oh, teach me how to pray!

Mama walk a little slower-

       The treasures will be mine,

You will know you’ve done your best-

        To teach me how to shine.

Mama walk a little slower-

       Someday, it will be me,

Who needs to learn to “slow down”-

       Oh, let me learn from thee!

Mama walk a little slower-

       I’m learning “life” you see!

Take my little hand in yours-

        Let’s make a memory.

Mama walk a little slower-

       We have ALL day, you see,

Yesterday, I was a baby-

        Now I’m almost three!

Mama walk a little slower-

       The memories will be yours,

You help to shape my destiny-

        You open up the doors……

For me to walk and learn to live-

         To sing and work and play,

I’m learning how to be like you-

         I watch you everyday.

So, Mama, walk a little slower-

       I want to be like you!

Every day, you show me “how”-

Oh, let me follow you!
