Lucilla

L... Love for humanity is what I have.
U... Understanding  - I try to be.
C... Concern for others - I always am.
I... Independent - I have always been.
L... Lying - does not go with me.
L... Live and let live, is my motto.
A... Achieve your goal, is my advice.


                       Lucy

              ( Short Version )

L... Life is a gift that God gave us.
U... Use it wisely - don't waste it away.
C... Capture in your mind - what you have learned.
Y... Youth is beautiful, but it don't last.
