Emma Grace Goes To Kindergarten !
Emma Grace, the beautiful little girl all
The physicians said would never be
Able to do anything
Has been promoted from Special Education
To the real deal, she is going to Kindergarten
She was promised this if she could conquer potty training
And conquer she did
She has climbed every mountain with elation
And gathered strength with her every battle
Learning to walk, and read and how to count
Able to do everything afterall
Her joy shows in her eyes, they say, "look at me
She has shown herself to be one tough cookie
At three, when still unable to walk, going to physical therepy
Placed on a treadmill to force her weak muscles to grow
Crying with each step, "It hurts, it hurts
Her mother crying with her, "I know, I know
Five years have since passed and now the best
Is about to happen
Mother has signed her up for dance
Emma Grace has always wanted to be a ballerina
A little pink leotard, and a pair of pink ballet slippers await
Emma Grace about to make her entrance into life
Look out world, here she comes
The physicians said would never be
Able to do anything
Has been promoted from Special Education
To the real deal, she is going to Kindergarten
She was promised this if she could conquer potty training
And conquer she did
She has climbed every mountain with elation
And gathered strength with her every battle
Learning to walk, and read and how to count
Able to do everything afterall
Her joy shows in her eyes, they say, "look at me
She has shown herself to be one tough cookie
At three, when still unable to walk, going to physical therepy
Placed on a treadmill to force her weak muscles to grow
Crying with each step, "It hurts, it hurts
Her mother crying with her, "I know, I know
Five years have since passed and now the best
Is about to happen
Mother has signed her up for dance
Emma Grace has always wanted to be a ballerina
A little pink leotard, and a pair of pink ballet slippers await
Emma Grace about to make her entrance into life
Look out world, here she comes
