I grew up the smallest kid on the street
I am the one, the other boys would mistreat
No matter what I did, they were there
Some days, I just wanted to pull out my hair
I’d run, I’d fight, but they kept being mean
All the way to the age of eighteen
My childhood they took away from me
But now I can look back and plainly see
What they did, made me who I am today
A strong willed man, who turned out ok
I see them now and boy am I glad
Because they are looking pretty sad
They have not accomplished anything in their lives
And Oh My God! You should see their wives
So even though they did all that to me
I am the one who truly turned out happy

Spend the day getting dirty.
Play all day in the sun.
Make mud pies and serve up plenty,
come in and play in the tub.

"Always in her heart"
A concrete playground full of broken glass
A lovelorn child of days gone past
Together for one moment
