Time Somebody Told Me
by Quantedius Hall (12 years old)
Time Somebody Told Me
That I am lovely, good and real
That I am beautiful inside
If they only knew
How that would make me feel.
Time Somebody Told Me
That my mind is quick, smart
and full of wit
That I should keep on trying
and never quit.
Time Somebody Told Me
How they loved and needed me
How my smile is filled with hope
And my spirit sets them free
How my eyes shine, full of light
How good they feel when they hug me tight.
Time Somebody Told Me
So, I had a talk with myself
Just me, nobody else
‘cause it was time
Somebody Told Me.
