The Marionettes
Neither as a king
Nor as a beggar
The baby was born
To a homeless mother
She was happy
To see his charm
She was obliged
And very calm
She blessed her child
And kissed his cheek
She knew that everyone
Gets what he seek
She spent her time
Around her babe
And made him play
With toys she made
Then came the blessings
In disguise
A merchant got a view
Of her sculptured toys
He gave her gold
And precious stones
He bought her cart
And a brand new home
She refused the gold
And diamonds and jewels
But took the cart
And went ahead
