la festa del papà !


"disco orario"

"lavoretti per la festa del papà " by my youngest daughter
Al papà
Se la mano mi darai
la mia mano ti darò
quanta strada tu farai
quanta strada io farò.
Se negli occhi tuoi mi specchio
piu sicuro già mi sento
e la prova piu difficile
con te diventa facile.
E' la vita un lungo viaggio
che richiede un gran coraggio
ma se tu mi dai la mano
e cammini un po' piu piano
io, vedrai, ti seguirò e paura non avrò!
