Analysis of Walk with me mamma
Walk along side me,mama
And hold my little hand.
I have so many thing to learn
That I don't yet understand.
Teach me things to keep me safe
From the dangers everyday.
Show me how to do my best
At home,at school,at play.
Every child needs a gentle hand
To guide them as they grow.
So walk alongside me,mama
We have a long way to go...
