Beth

18 years ago
There was a little song
A little gulp, a little burp
To a baby it belong
And that baby sang
Sang and sang it all day long

8 years ago
There came little sighs
A shaky breath and a hug
Happens every time that she cries
A passionate wipe
Wiping the tears from her eyes

10 years ago
The little girl heard
A whisper,  a hum
Some sad news from a bird
That yelled and called
Called as she turned

13 years ago
Beth felt her heart
A smile and nod
Her heart too would start
Beating with love
A love that was never tart

18 years old
The girl set free
She found the woman
She grew to be
And lived happily ever after
Well, we'll see
