When I was but a small child I jumped in puddles filled with rain.  I thought life was fun and games.  I had no reason to complain.

When I became a young girl my heart was broken in two, half felt like dying, the other said I'll make it through.

I then became a wife and mother and I thought that life was good, But little did I know how much about life I misunderstood.

I was like a desert flower scorched by the heat of the day,  Then I found a place of cool waters...where I knelt down to pray.
