What makes me what I am? Many things I suspect would contribute. 
I would give God and my family the greatest tribute

Mama nurtured me when I was a child
I will never forget her warm, loving smile

My dad taught me respect came from within, not without
He taught me what life is all about

Most important, we all went to church on Sunday
Always being taught that was the Lord's Holy Day

Learning of my maker gave me respect for all humankind 
Pausing to feel Him in my Heart and my mind

I am what I am and forever will be
Because God's Son Jesus lives in me
