Without a care in the world
When beauty was a word
And living was fun
This is the rain
Pouring down not lightning up
Flooding the yard
And promising the girl a cup of hot coco
This is the home
In front of the girl
Where she would grow up
To learn so much
This is when dark hair and skin were nothing
Your brothers’ clothes were fun to wear
And unicorns were real
This is when
Her skin eyes and hair
Would all lighten
To where she would miss them so much
Was out of mind
This is before
Beauty was a life style
Someone would break her heart
And her mother was gone
This girl is me
