Once there was a little girl,
who didn't have any luck.
It is said by some from here,
that she fell off a turnip truck.
But one day, it all did change,
and everything started to click.
Her mind was filled with music,
and that banjo she could pick.
Her songs of life and sorrows,
became an instant hit.
Those songs about her life,
brought a tear I must admit.
But now she has no worries
as she has everything.
Her songs are sung by everyone
which children love to sing.
The blessings she received
before she became so old.
Is more precious to her now
than any box of gold.
Her family and the children
who gather round to listen.
Are now her pride and joy,
as her eyes grow moist and glisten.
How lucky she has been
to be given such a gift.
The voice of an angel
and a soul that can lift. |
