Children's Dragon

From youth to now, from Puff to Puff

Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


If you will let me
I will set
you upon a tail


Sing of the time
when Puff and I
Set the world
to sail


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


It was in times of old
when knights were bold
and powerful the dragons that ruled
the deep blue sea


From whence
out of a northern wind
there came to be
a Puffing dragon
strong and free


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


A ragging smoking fire
in his big belly had he
The entire world knew
Puff the dragon of the sea


Listen all of you out there
this story to you I will tell
Hero is the mighty quest
of a dragon on the sell


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


The best friend of my children
but no longer a friend of  I


Though Puff was wise
he had a tempered spirit free
deep in his heart
he loved the children
that belonged to me


Captain and crew
of the ship
called the deep dreary


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


Like those before they in turn
found old Puff to be
a perfect friend
for he'd take them
on trips above
the ragging sea


For his reward
they would share
all their wealth
precious candy


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


In the quiet night of evening
when adults would be
 fast asleep
 
He would pick them up
and way they would go
to receive his gifts reward
for a special treat of candy they'd meet


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


The sky was black
the little ship
was tossed about the tub
rubber ducky was afraid
of Puff the dragon strong


Splash and crash
huge waves thrown
to and fro


Torn through the night
as the ship was cast about


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


But good old Puff
pulled the children out
From window peeks
the captain that is I


With a strong heart
and a sharpened sword
I face the mighty Puff
but he was just a toy
Filled with candy and stuff


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


Oh resting place
inside my mind
I love you still today
Puff you and I along the
Cherry lane
both of us still can play


Mother says, "who made this mighty mess"
We all point at Puff
Daddy head down does confess
It was he
with his magic sword,
soap and towel


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


Mother cuts him down to size
with just her order strong
Clean this up and
get the children dressed


I swear
I saw old Puff
He smiled as he left the tub
Flying low below
mothers watchful eye


Children are our future in life they will see
the old gold left behind for you and me


A tear of joy left her
and I heard her cry
"Puff I love you"


He loves you too
we all in strong voice
replied

I Love this and the repeating reminding line of who the children are perfect and thank you so much!
Let Puff be your friend mighty and strong to beat that dragon not Puff at all, that you feel, but another.
So Puff do your stuff!
Thanks!
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea!
Puff, I Love You!
