Little Girl

Little Girl

Looking into the eyes of this pretty young girl

wondering what she thinks of this big crazy world

where she comes from has no good

going through each day she does the best that she could

hoping that this world she can someday change

slowly her life she starts to rearrange

she starts to get good grades in school

still her parents neglect her efforts and call her a fool

now we would think that’s where it all ends

but there’s much more to this story my friends

next her dad leaves the house

then her mother too in search of a new spouse

she is left alone with her big brother

forced the two of them have to look after each other

the brother provides for them throughout each year

but due to the pain he finds a friend named beer

thinking this would solve it all

he doesn’t realize this is his biggest fall

a solution to this problem he’s got to find

trying to get all of these sad thoughts out of his mind

where there is a will there is a way

here comes his sister with something to say

wise words flow out of her mouth like a fountain

she tells him that they are almost at the top of this mountain

she lets him know that a change is coming

and tells him that he needs to stop running

this hits him like a whirlwind

he falls down to his knees and says Lord please forgive me for I have sinned

the next morning he awakes with a new idea

he takes a walk to the bank beginning to conquer his fear

he takes out a loan to pay his sister’s school fees

walking home he see’s his friend and tells him to stop smoking dem trees

he finally learns what it means to be a man

his sister goes through school and does the best that she can

this is a new chapter in each of their lives

no more dodging bullets and ducking emotional knives

they were destined to find a way

and yes the loan big brother took out he did pay

this pretty young girl graduated with all A’s

and finally found her way out of this insane maze

the odds for them to lose were as high as the sky

yet they kept fighting each day and we wonder why

the moral of the story is to never give up

push through the pain and you’ll end up with a full cup
