Born on the day love Beautiful like a dove Maria is her name Nogood tomboy was her game She learned her history Sitting on her grannys knee Knew everything till she was sore Could say it all from now to 1804 In Pennsylvania, her family had a home So poor she could barely afford a comb Longed to have a big nice house And maybe a fancy new blouse Grew up just a little too fast Met a man and had a blast In Columbia was his whole youth Wanted a family in CA, thats the truth Wrote some love letters to each other Said I do, man, they loved one another And all too soon, well she was a mother Their hands were full, so why not give him a brother? The first child, he was born different In that time, it was hard to be a parent With a child like that, something amiss was apparent They moved for a better program than their current As the boys grew up, Margaret became a nurse Sometimes the world might go for the worse But she believed she should let life take its course No human knew Gods plan for the Universe One day their boy went to a new church Saw a lady and ended his soulmate search The lovebirds went to train and research To find a mission and leave their perch As the youngest went to a new land They traveled as well, because of city expand Always she has loved a nice, quiet life and South Carolina was close to her motherland Now the years have come and years have gone She has grandchildren of which shes so fond Still thinks back on the good times of old And remembers the family history she was told
family, history, went, amiss, grew
