My Life by Jakob W. A family is like wood, the trunk of a great big tree It holds the leaves together, and one of those leaves is me My mom was born in Virginia, Texas is where my dad got his start I was born in California, but I’m a Texas boy at heart My favorite place is San Antonio, I inhale its cool, crisp air It’s like oxygen to my lungs, because my grandparents live there Our family goes to church, Sunday is a special day At night before I go to sleep, I bow my head and pray My mom had surgery so we needed a bunch of faith Luckily God listened, because now she’s doing OK God is compared to nothing, there is nothing on this earth He’s better than everything and has been there since my birth We have friends all over the world, from one sea to land and to another sea They do good things all over the world, that’s like sweet honey from a bee One of our friends moved to Thailand, he’s a lawyer whose name is Troy He helped us sponsor a family - a dad, a mom and their little boy They don’t have any money, barely enough to eat I’ve talked to him on SKYPE, but I hope one day we can meet |
