I Do So Much For My Church
I Do So Much For My Church
by Alia Smith
At my church I do so much
My life is dedicated to church
I do almost everything
I volunteer for anything
At my church I help with the kids
All the adults love me for helping
I wish there is more that I could do
Everyone loves me there at my church
But in my youth I feel I never get heard
Just because I am me
Yeah, I like what I like and do what I do
I ask why do I get treated this way…
I love my church though and they love me too.
