Mary and the Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,

His fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,

The Lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school each day,

Twasn’t even in the rule.

He made the children laugh and play,

To have a Lamb at school.

And then the rules all changed one day,

Illegal it became.

To bring the Lamb of God to school,

Or even speak His Name.

Everyday got worse and worse,

And days turned in to years.

Instead of hearing children laugh,

We heard gun shots and tears.

What must we do to stop the crime,

That’s in our schools today?

Let’s let the Lamb come back to school,

And teach our kids to pray.
