Lessons

Tiny little house at the edge of the yard.
A place where dolls gather and tea is served.
Little girls learn lessons about life.
Be kind, be sweet, love with all your heart.

High up in the tree, the fort is hanging.
A sign is posted, “Men Only” no girls allowed.
Young heroes are taught about life.
Be strong, be courageous, love with all your heart.

We go to church and school together, 
and learn about life’s lessons.
Places, where we should strive to remember,
Be kind, Be strong, Be Sweet, be Courageous.
Love with all your heart.
