Do we have what it takes to love our children? What would we sacrifice? Lyrics based on my poem.

Lyrics
Let me open my arms, you climb in
To the soul that God gave.

Rest with me my child
You make my soul breathe.

Let my courage match my love,
Let my courage match my love.

Let the ocean gather waves
And stack them all above.
Have them fall on my back
And my children will be safe.

Let my courage match my love,
Let my courage match my love.

Rest with me my child
You make my soul breathe.
Rest with me my child
You make my soul breathe.

Let me open my arms
And you climb in
To the soul
That God gave.

Let my courage match my love,
Let my courage match my love.

Let my courage match my love,
Let my courage match my love.

Courage Match My Love

The power of time and handing things off, except the worry. Lyrics based on my poem.

Lyrics
We had our time in the sun
We sang our song and won
We lived our lives and stole a laugh
We stood so proud and were tough
The shadows have crept up on us
Different paths took us here

Now we stand on the side
Watering the next their pride

Trust the wind 
Licking your ears
Massage the nerves
Stirring small fears

Pounding heart
Along for the ride
The body will fly
Fears drag aside

We stood so proud and were tough
The shadows have crept up on us
We stood so proud and were tough
The shadows have crept up on us

Time in the Sun

The fast paced moments of playing with children. Lyrics based on my poem.

Lyrics
Girl and Boy
Toy and joy
 
Sing and dance
Jump and prance
 
Day to night
Out of sight
 
Jump out of bed
Play! We said
 
Run to the food
Jolly morn mood
 
Let’s eat quick
No time to pick
 
Fun to be had
Together and glad
 
Let’s make a track
And launch a snack
 
Across the room
To hear it zoom
 
Then we’ll draw
A raven’s claw

Out the door
On grass floor 
 
Skipping a bit
Digging a pit
 
Run up a hill
Rolling at will
 
Playing the day
Pausing to pray
 
God your will
Is mine till
The day we meet
I’ll pray at your feet
 
But give me this day
To love you and play

But give me this day
To love you and play

Jolly Morning

Episode #056: Parenting with Knowledge

I wrote these poems many years ago--all pre-AI and without its charming guidance. I tweaked the poems into suitable lyrics and developed the song structure. Finally, I used AI to compose the music. I guess this is striving to be a troubadour of the 21st century.

Many of my poems were written during my long traveling months when I was young and traveling a lot overseas. Later ones are about parenting, my Christian faith, and other life stuff.

These songs come from my poetry. The lyrics have not been AI generated or assisted. I did some tiny alterations of some of the original poems for musical flow. Except where noted, the musical compositions have been AI generated, where I took my poem and used some of the verses to create a chorus and bridge.
