God make life.
Boy life.
Mom carry boy. Feed boy. Comfort boy. Mom act for boy.
Boy grow. Boy run fast. Boy feed himself. Boy want girl. Boy act for boy.
But girl want family. Girl want boy who act for family. Mom family.
Boy do dishes. Boy do homework. Boy act for mom.
Dad teach boy. Protect boy. Comfort boy. Dad act for boy.
Boy grow strong. Boy run fast. Boy teach himself. Boy want girl. Boy act for boy.
But girl want family. Dad family. Boy watch dad. Listen to dad. Boy act like dad.
Boy ready for girl.
Girl life.

Girl grow. Girl stand tall. Girl feed herself. Girl want family. Mom family.
Girl watch mom. Listen to mom. Girl act like mom.
Dad teach girl. Protect girl. Comfort girl. Dad act for girl.
Girl grow. Girl stand tall. Girl teach herself. Girl want family. Dad family.
Girl do dishes. Girl do homework. Girl act for dad.

Boy walk with girl. Talk with girl. Comfort girl. Boy act for girl.
Girl walk with boy. Talk with boy. Comfort boy. Girl act for boy.
Boy become man. Girl become woman.
Man woman make family.
God family.
