Mama and Her Little Girl

Mama's favorite girl, being little, does not realise modern dangers...
Left alone, she is wont to be misled , even taken away, by evil strangers..

When your little one is targetted by such devilish people..
It would be a miracle to escape ever their evil clutches...

As parents, we should be smart and be constantly alert...
Only by being extra vigilant can we hope to avert...

Lest any such misfortune befell us or on those who are close...
All parents be forewarned and let little ones constantly stay close..

Mama's little girl, growing up, does not realise modern challenges..
With her friends, she is wont to be misled, lead astray in stages...

As she grows with the passing years, she is apt to find friends dear...
Sometimes soon, she tries to find her space and steer clear...

As parents we wring our hands with worries and despair...
As we watched eagle eyed and try our best to help her every which way...

We trust in the Lord and in the good values we diligently portray...
In the hopes that Mama's little girl will soon be a fine lady some day...

Mama's little girl, fully grown, is now a full blown woman on her own...
The loving Mama realises she has done well for her little girl is fully grown..

As aged parents well through the advancing years...
We gladly receive the screaming welcome from visiting grand children...

The joys and fears of yesteryears are now but a distant memory....
As the circle of life turns, Mama's little girl begins then a new story...
