Joelle
A baby in your arms, so sweet the lullabyes came,
Daddy bought me a rocking horse so the story told,
I'm holding cabbage patch dolls...boy she looks like me,
Why mommy, please read to me,
I love all those stories listening at the table,
All the older women and their whoas sipping tea,
I can ride a bike now up and down the street,
With big bro...by my side so swift so sleek,
At baseball, I run like a deer,
Winters struck, moving fast,
My feet are firmly planted now,
I'm 10, looking tall,
The Lord took me so young in the pack,
Dear Lord, help me please,
To remember the rest
To help others in need,
For the cause and effect....
