A thousand hours on the turf,
They say practice makes you perfect,
Means a thousand hours of car rides,
This dad will say it’s worth it!

Car rides are where the day unfolds,
20 minutes one-on-one,
Not sure of what the future holds,
One day the rides’ll be gone.

Some times it’s listening to music,
They controlling the aux cord
Sometimes it’s cheer or homework
And other times it’s about the Lord

Sometimes it’s friendship & life advice
Sometimes it’s really deep
And sometimes I drop her off,
Park the car, & then I pray and weep.

A thousand hours of car rides,
Of Giving your child a lift,
Yes, Traffic and in a hurry,
But parenting’s a gift.

Car rides are where the day unfolds,
Especially if you’re talking,
And one-on-one with your child
Sure does impact life’s walking.
