A Child Speaks
Although I am not perfect
Which I'm sure you know quite well
I still am a person
That might ring a bell.
There are many things I don't quite know
But I'm sure that I can learn
So teach me now and don't forget
To let me have my turn
I'm still a child, I am not grown
But my mind is learning fast.
So please be kind and keep in mind
That today is not the past.
I will never be quite perfect
And now I know that well.
So respect that I'm a person
With my own tale to tell.
