Swimming Lesson

Swimming Lesson

I hold his hand 

It’s his very first time 

I try to be gentle 

Every time he puts his toes inside 

He’s tall and handsome 

The water level reaches 

Over his Aquarius sign 

I hold him with trust 

Teach him the lesson of life 

When he was a kid no one had time 

So I take my time 

To teach him the lesson of life 

As he floats peacefully 

He’s full of joy 

I taught him the lesson of life
