A head of hair something to see.
Loves to be rocked and I love to oblige.

To develop into an adult.
With memories of love life and sweet harmony.
A good woman would be the result..

CHILD OF MY SOUL
I don't know where you are or when you'll arrive,
but I know you'll be here soon.
You safely rest in the womb
