Watercolor Ponies- Wayne Watson

All of you Moms (or Dads) with little ones around the house...
You have to skip to minute 2:40 for the song cause Wayne Watson is talking at the beginning. HOWEVER, what he's saying is a great message!!!! Lyrics under video.


There are watercolor ponies
On my refrigerator door
In the shape of something
I don't really recognize
Drawn by careful little fingers
And put proudly on display
A reminder to us all
Of how time flies

Seems an endless mound of laundry
And a stairway laced with toys
Gives a blow by blow
Reminder of the war
That we fight for their well-being
For their greater understanding
To impart a holy reverence
For the Lord

But, baby, what will we do
When it comes back to me and you?
They look a little less
Like little boys every day
Oh, the pleasure of watching
The children growing
Is mixed with a bitter cup
Of knowing the watercolor ponies
Will one day ride away

And the vision can get so narrow
As you view through your tiny world
And little victories can go by
With no applause
But in the greater evaluation
When they fly from your nest of love
May they mount up with wings
As eagles for His cause
