His imagination was wide

Oh! The tales that he told

While he was my guide

He spoke of bears

And deadly wild cats

Till I was thoroughly scared

which was when he laughed

He held onto my hand

Saying "Namma! Do like I do"

As he held back tree limbs

Till I could safely pass through

He was my protector

Whom I followed step for step

Just a boy with his Namma

And I'll never forget

My walk up the creek

With Gavin that day

When I was the follower

and he led the way
