Who Am I?


Who am I?

I don't know.

What am I?

I don't know.

How old am I?

I don't know.

When will I die?

I know,

I will die today,

For my mother is giving me away.

 

She will never see my love.

She will send me away like a dove.

I just wish that my Father above,

Will tell her to give me some love.

I just have one more thing to say.

I love you momma, why won't you let me stay?
