Before The Little One

On the first day of preschool Dad had gone to heaven when I was five

Me and mom became fish out of water

Oh we wished he was still alive

Mom was in mourning

I was the shyest in school

It’s like god gave us something without warning

It feels my life was at a dead end

With the bully who sat next to me

But here comes my first friend

My life was just dust

Until I heard the news

Guess who’s sitting next to us

It’s the little one

She became the greatest

I’ve ever received

I feel like God traded

My dad for my little sister to help my family
