Praise Rising

Litsi bitsi is my friend

A lively, sparkling beauty

If ever I should need a hand

She is right there to help me.

Freckles on her upturned nose

Green eyes laugh like green sunshine

Red-brown hair and painted toes

Full of stories, jokes and rhymes.

Like a shout of joy and praise

Litsi is God’s happy bard

Every step along the way

Even if the road is hard.

Like a tree, she’s strong inside

She won’t break in Life’s rough wind

Generous with all her might

Litsi bitsi is my friend.
