little annie raised her kids
from a concrete box
and she did it so much better
than some mothers who have lots
hard up, broke,
young, nieve
but look at what
this young mother, did achieve
with the odds stacked against her
little annie did alright
infact she did pretty well
how can she,
be as soft as love
AND (at the same time) just as tough
and how come she goes without
when there just aint enough
because her kids
are her oppertunity
to fill the world
with life so beautyfully
as she does
with the odds stacked against her
little annie did alright
infact she did pretty well
her own, childhood was hard
left her scared
but she'd never let it show
didnt want the little ones to know
she made a,
new template
them to follow
with care thats warm
and never hollow
just cause she could
with the odds stacked against her
little annie did alright
infact she did pretty well
its the only thing
that makes me hope that
maybe something unselfish
can excist
