Inspired partially by Raggedy Ann written by Johnny Gruelle.
twinkle to grow grow grow
Day by day she worked, prayed, played, lived and went to
school
Having naught much but dignity retained she kept it all
contained
Complaining not she endured her lot in life not a misery
Striving dreaming she saw stars in the sky about her that allowed hertwinkle to grow grow grow
Looking at the oppressed, trodden down she said a difference is what we
need need to
make it all right
Someday a dream will come true for all of us who believe in God and Pray
A day of righteousness fairness love evolution and a new beginning to
inspire represent us
all from start to end not
Looking at a life of boring routine a girl of rags became the star
scintillating shining rotated she
Pushing for rights of the people she stood her stance of firm we all
matter and not one should
be discarded cast aside devoured whole
Advising lecturing speaking she watched a change move with fleeting
quiet steps from coast to coast
A knowledge of appropriateness dawn in eye of consciousness to allow
the free thought of acceptance of social norms provide all
From rags to riches or nouveau poor she retained aloof from acts of
crude to respect the man of love she battle freely all cometh forth
