I’d like to say that I know all

The promises I should recall

But since I was a tiny tot

It seems to me there were a lot.

While childhood was to home confined

I promised that I’d always mind

In Sunday school I swore that I

Would love the Lord and never lie.

Then as I grew and went to school

I pledged the flag and golden rule

When I was twelve, Girl Scouts came next

I took the vows and learned the text.

Now at thirteen I was confirmed

That’s where Commandments all were learned

High School became a brand new stage

I entered in another age.

I’d like to think I’ve done my best

For family, God and the rest

As truth and faith, integrity

Mean everything on earth to me !
