THIS IS THE LIFE I HAVE LONGED FOR

by Papa Steve  3/25/12

 

This is the life I have longed for

For a long, a very long time:

To teach little children my music

While youthful and still in their prime.

 

But I will take any for students

Who’ll seek to discover this treasure,

And follow me in my life’s motto:

“No fear – lots of fun – for HIS pleasure!”

 

Strumming and humming and singing

My songs and tunes and rhymes.

The worst I can say about it

Is that this is my best of times!

 

I’ve worked hard all of my life

As a teacher and preacher and friend;

But what I did in the beginning

Is how I now want it to end:

 

To make my own kind of music,

Teaching others to make their own, too.

Since Jesus blest me with this favor,

I’ll pass on the favor to you.

 

This is the life I have longed for

Since my earliest mem’ries and days:

To revel in music – then share it,

And send up to heaven my praise!

 

He is a hootenanny and a half!
