Sissy is crying Mom what should I do,
how can I get to her?
Mom and Dad the police has come,

Why haven't you come to get us Mom?
The people are nice here, but we wanna go home.
The judge wants to put us in a home,he said
that if no one in the family takes us,
that is just what he will do.
Oh,wait a minute please a man say's,
I don't know him,but he knows me.
He say's let me make a phone call,
I know who will take these babie's.
Now I remember him,he's the Dr. that delivered me.

Mamaw makes us pretty little dresses for us to wear,
and papaw bounces us on his knee.
They got us a puppy and cat too.
Mom and Dad I am 4 now, your divorce is finalized.

a brother for me and sissy to love.
My cat was ran over by our next door neighbor tonight,
I am sad,there was nothing no one could do.
Mom and Dad I am 5 now,I just started headstart.
I am having so much fun,and I made lots of new friends too.
I laugh and play oh,and I am learning too.
But what more is there for me to learn,
I already know my ABC's and can count to 100.
I can write my name and your names too.
Mom and Dad I am 6 and in the first grade.
I just got home from school and something
has happened.Why wasn't my papaw at the door to
greet me when I got home.
Mamaw said he went somewhere,and that he would
not be returning home,that he went to Heaven,
to be with the Lord,I don't understand
why he can't come back home.
I am 7 now Mom and Dad, and I am being really good in school,
my teacher is really nice,but sometimes she
can be mean.I don't think she means to be,
I just think she isn't feeling good.
Mom and Dad I am 8 now,and our house just burned down.
Lost just about everything,but thank God we still
have our lives.We did save papaw's chair that mamaw
bought him when he had his surgery on his heart.
Mom and Dad I am 9 and the month is April,the siren's
are going off and the weather man said to seek
shelter imediately.We made it thru the storms and tornadoes
safe and sound,but my friends family lost their farm.
Mom and Dad I am 10 now,we just moved to the
big city.I didn't even get to say goodbye,to all my friends.
I'm scared here,I don't know a soul,but new friends
I know I will make.Mom you just had another son.
Mom and Dad I am now 11,don't be mad at me but a boy

bought me was stolen.
Dad you just re-married and have two step children,
and your moving away to another state.
Mom and Dad I am 12 now,my cousin Ricky was being chased
by some kids while he was on his way home from
school. He didn't see the truck comming.He laid
there lifeless as the driver just drove away.Why didn't
the driver stop,why didn't he check to see if he was ok?
Dad you couldn't come to his funeral because you
had a new baby that was a soon to be born.
Mom and Dad,I am 13 and the radio said that Elvis just died.
Tell me it isn't true.
Mom and Dad I am 14 now,I just started highschool.
I have alot of hopes and dreams,for these are wonder years.
I'm still in the band and we practiced our marching
techniques everyday.It is boring at times, but my
friends and I got thru it and we made it fun for all of us.
We came up a jingle to say while we were marching.
You want to hear it?
Left,left,left,right,left,my back is aching,
my pants to tight,my bootie shaking to the
left and to the right.I am also in journalism,I get to
write stories,and cover sports for our school paper.
Maybe one day I will write
stories to put in a book.
Mom and Dad I'm 15 now,school is really easy
this year.It's just a recap of what I have already
learned.My friend was killed today,they said she didn't feel
a thing,that she went instantly.I grieve along with
her parents,they not only lost their only daughter but,
they also lost the life of her unborn child.
A grandchild that they will never hold or cherish,
as grandparents do.The guy she was with was
messed up, he had been drinking and doing drugs.
I promise I will never do drugs,and I won't
drink and drive.
I am 16 now Mom and Dad.
I just got out of the hospital,from where I had a cist to
ruptured on my ovary.The Dr. said there is a
chance I may never be able to have kids.God
please don't let this be so,for one day,I want a
baby of my very own.
Mom and Dad I am 17 now,I have a boyfriend
and he is really good to me.He takes me out to dinner
and the movies too,he even bought me the ALabama
album I wanted.Dad don't fall out of your chair,
he is twenty-four.
I am 18 now,Mom and Dad.
Please don't be mad at me,but I just found out
today that I am going to have a baby.
Mom and Dad,I lost the baby today.I guess it wasn't meant
to be,the Dr. said it was deformed and that it was
going to be a girl.If I could have had her,I would
have named her Dora Leigh.
Mom and Dad I am almost 19,and I am getting
married.Dad I heard you tell him to take care of
your little girl.Don't worry Dad he loves with
all his heart,and we will never part.
Good news Mom and Dad i'm pregnant.The
baby will come in the spring,and it's going to be a boy.
Mom and Dad I am twenty-two now,I just had a second son.
When other people see's him they say what a cute little girl.
They laugh and their faces turn red,when I say it's a boy.
Mom and Dad I am twenty-four now,and I have
three beautifull little boys.They are so full of life and
alot of joy to have around.We play together,watch t.v.,
read books and color too.Dad you just told me,that
I have a brother that I have never met, and he is now 15.
Mom and Dad,I woke up this morning and found my youngest
had gone to Heaven in his sleep.Why did this happen,why
did he go before me?I know he has his wings,and
is waiting for me there on the other side.
Mom and Dad it is a year later,and I have just given
birth to your first granddaughter.A flower to blossom
before my eyes.Dad I heard you tell my step mom that
she is the apple of your eye.
It is now two years later and I have just given birth
another little boy.I am done having babies now
Mom and Dad,I got myself fixed.I just want to raise
the one's I have,I don't need anymore.I have alot
of love in my heart to give them all,and each of
them is special in their own way.
Mom and Dad it is now three years later,mamaw just
had a massive heart attack,the Dr. said she won't
be waking back up.I don't want her to leave me,
but this is what she has waited for all these years.
To go on to Heaven and be with papaw,has been her dream,
for she misses him so.
Mom and Dad it is now three years later,my second
mom just went to Heaven.She lost her battle she
had fought so long,the cancer took control.
Oh,Mom and Dad just one last thing before I go.
Something I thought you should really know.
I love you and I forgive you,
for not raising me.
