A little girl
A laugh, a sigh
A sparkle in
A soft, blue eye

No soul could walk this earth alone
and still emerge believing.
The fertile ground for faith is found
in giving and receiving.

Welcome, baby, to the world!
I wonder who you’ll be?
You are a miracle––God’s own,
a child of destiny.

there’s wisdom here
the power of three
the power of surf
and sand and sea
the power to kneel

The greatest joy in life is found
where love and loyalty abound.
What sweeter sight…what dearer sound
than all the family, gathered round?

To every heart, a wound must come;
no soul is free from this.
Some enemy or friend will deal
a blow that breaks your bliss.

I am losing my teeth
one by two, two by three;
and they’re growing back
crooked as crooked can be.

I’m glad the world is right-side-up
instead of upside-down.
With the oceans topsy-turvy,
I’m afraid someone might drown.
