Do you remember when you
were a wee, wee tot,
And they took you out of
your warm warm cot,
And made you sit on a
cold, cold pot
And made you wee-wee,
Whether you could or not.
Keep growing, keep dreaming.
Dream with your heart
Live, love, laugh and be happy
Lord, Help me to give something back.
Here sits your windowsill angel,
A gentle reminder to pray.
Have you stopped to give thanks
For God’s love today?
