A song I had to write in my Language Arts class.
Ladybug her momma called her
She was Momma’s little girl
Daddy wasn’t in the picture
Where he was, they were not sure

And sometimes she got scared
In the darkness of her room
The monsters were out to get her
Least that’s what she assumed

Chorus:
She held her close
In the night
Tellin’ her
It was all right
And everywhere she went
She left a little light   

Girl grew up so fast
It was the night of her prom
But she came back heartbroken
To her loving mom

Chorus:
She held her close
In the night
Tellin’ her
It was all right
And everywhere she went
She left a little light   

Girl said she’d met the one
The one she was gonna marry
A mother she’d soon be
But the baby would miscarry

Chorus:
She held her close
In the night
Tellin’ her
It was all right
And everywhere she went
She left a little light   

And the man she thought she loved
Left her all alone
She never would have married him
If she had only known

She was just sittin’ on the cold, hard floor
As he packed and took their things
He left her with tears runnin’ down her face
While he threw down his weddin’ ring

Chorus:
She held her close
In the night
Tellin’ her
It was all right
And everywhere she went
She left a little light     

Girl was all grown up
And she had no money left
That man had taken it all
With his trickery and theft

And when she heard her momma was sick
There was nothing she could do
The best medicine that she could give
Was to say, “I love you”

Momma took her hand
Told her “Honey, it’s ok
I lived my life full, I love you too”
And then she passed away

The girl remembered all those years
Through happiness and all those tears
When her momma was at her side right here
And she remembered when…

Chorus:
She held her close
In the night
Tellin’ her
It was all right
And everywhere she went
She left a little light   

And everywhere she went
She left a little light
