TABLES REVERSED:

When I was younger & you were quite old,

Then, you nurtured me & I did what was told,

You showed me with patience what I should do,

And from down below, I always looked up to you.

When you reared me up, to the level of your eyes,

And you told me of life & you answered my why´s,

Then, when you opened the door, to let me fly free,

I spread my wings wide & then flew over the trees.

Round & round, my life & even bigger world I flew,

And not glancing back once, it was all thanks to you,

For these gifts; roots of love & these wide wings to fly,

For connecting me to mother earth & to almighty sky.

Now you are as babe, old wrinkled & shrunk knee high,

And so I´ve flown down to you, from my far-away sky,

So now give me your hand & I shall answer your why´s,

I´ll care for you, so rest now Papa & close your old eyes.
