Once there was a cheerless time. A little girl looked at the world with a tear.
Her only friend was an old doll, for she did not have a mother to love her.
As time goes by and children grow,
old tears are lost, new ones take their empty space.
The girl has left this world and there's no one to recall and miss her.

Everyday you'll face the fact:
It really matters how you build your own future.
The decisions that we make have serious, long lasting effects.
What bases are you building on?
Do you walk each day with the cross before you?
Jesus is the way. May he be the foundation of your life.
