A Child
I
am
a
child
with
many
dreams,
When
you
look
at
me,
you'll
know
what
I
mean;
I
am
a
child
who
needs
care
and
understanding,
I
don't
need
any
toys,
just
love
and
their
parenting.
I
used
to
be
with
my
friends
all
day
long,
No
one
stops
me
for
they're
busy
and
gone,
My
mom
with
her
group
of
friends
and
my
dad
in
his
work,
No
one
even
tried
to
read
me
a
book.
I
used
to
be
with
my
toys,
With
my
teddy,
we
share
all
these
joys;
The
attention
that
I
need
are
tears
that
I
shed,
That
only
my
bear
sees,
not
like
my
parents
did.
When
I
was
sick,
they're
on
my
side,
They
don't
feel
how
happy
I
am
inside;
They've
showed
their
love
for
me
unlike
before,
''Oh!
How
am
I.''
as
I
hugged
them
and
cried
with
joy.
