Together
Listen to Laura ...
A flake in an ice-cream,
Skimming a stone,
Time with your granny,
Baking a scone.
A smile on a sad day,
Walking the dog,
Time with your daddy,
Catching a frog.
A thing that is little,
Tiny or small
Time altogether,
Is something - all.
Skimming a stone,
Time with your granny,
Baking a scone.
A smile on a sad day,
Walking the dog,
Time with your daddy,
Catching a frog.
A thing that is little,
Tiny or small
Time altogether,
Is something - all.
