On the twelth day of Christmas, my parents gave to me: Twelve goals for living, Eleven hopes for wishing, Ten helping fingers, Nine lessons learning, Eight songs for singing, Seven prayers a week, Six swats when naughty, Five caring hugs, Four grandparents, Three siblings, Two loving hearts, And the freedom to be just me. |
