Tread Lightly

Tread Lightly

Tread lightly, please
The ground you walk
Is fragile,

Each step you take
Can bend or break
It all.

Tread lightly, please
This is all I
Would ask you,

Please watch your step
Give her your best,
My boy.

Tread lightly, please
My daughter is
So gentle,

And careless steps
Can make or break
Her heart.

Tread lightly, son,
I know that my
Girl loves you.

Heed the ground you
Tread with careless
Longing

It's land I own
And land I love.
Tread lightly.
