If someone tucked me in to sleep...

Gently give me butterfly kisses,

Maybe, I wont have to count my sheep.

I wonder if the Lord can hear-

And all the wishes that I make,

On stars that shine so bright...

I wonder if I'll ever have,

A mom to make my toast...

A dad to teach me how to fish-

And grannies to love me most!

I wonder if I'll ever have...

A family to call mine.

Maybe, someday, I will be heard...

Before I go to sleep....

    A plant is like a family
    The children are the fruits
    The mother is the tree trunk
    That supports them with the roots

    Hey big brother you're getting old
    The time is now for you to be bold
