Before You Came, Little Angel By Casey Berna

Before you Came, Little Angel
Dedicated To Roxy

Before you came, Little Angel,
We already loved you so.
We prayed for you, night and day,
that in love and safety you'd grow.

Before you came, Little Angel,
We were so excited we could hardly sleep!
Envisioning our future lives together,
gave us so much joy, we'd weep!

We had many meetings with social workers,
so that we could prepare.
We made up your room to sleep in,
and bought you clothes to wear.

But our hearts were ready long ago,
for you Little Angel to be in our lives.
But our journey had to take us to the moment,
it was perfect for you to arrive.

For God had a plan for you,
that to us you would belong.
There was so much that was orchestrated,
to create our perfect family song.

Did you have a missing tooth?
Was your hair red or blue?
Did you have green eyebrows?
We loved you before we knew.

We loved every fiber of your being,
and hey, we still do today.
And every day we thank God Above,
that to each other we found our way.

Cause' we were made to be a family
and through our ups and downs,
our love will see us through and through,
no matter tears or frowns.

Before you came, Little Angel,
our hearts longed for you to be near.
Now that you are home with us,
they can dance and cheer.

PEACE written by Casey Berna

I picture kids acting out the actions to this song, but right before the next verse comes, a short video of the actual action of peace being done in the world is shown.
The tune of the song is to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSBQPFejeJs

You gotta smile, smile, smile smile for Peace.
(show kids smiling then show a video of a Nobel Peace Prize Winner smiling)

You gotta shake, shake, shake shake for Peace.
(show kids shaking their arms and legs like crazy, then show two world leaders who were always fighting shaking hands in attempts to start peace)

(song gets a little louder and louder with every verse)
You gotta clap, clap, clap clap for Peace.
(show kids clapping their hands, then people clapping their hands listening to someone speak about peace)

You gotta to sit, sit, sit down for Peace.
(show kids sitting down, and then show a video of a sit in)

You gotta stand, stand, stand up for peace.
(show kids standing up, show a video of someone who is standing up for peace)

You gotta march, march, march march for Peace.
(show kids marching, show video of people marching on washington)

You gotta sing, sing out loud for Peace.
(kids yelling going crazy, video of Bob Marley singing for peace)

(now the song gets softer)
You gotta hug, hug, hug hug for peace.
(kids hugging eachother, video of two unlikely people hugging)

You gotta listen, listen, listen for Peace.
(kids hands up to their ears, video of leaders listening to people issues)

You gotta pray, pray pray pray for Peace.
(kids doing funny prayer poses, video of the Dalai Lama prayign for Peace)

Introducing, Zero the Hero Written by Casey Berna

I picture this character as a pint size super hero, like a preschool kid super hero.

My name is Thaddeus Thelonius Theodore Theero,
otherwise known as Zero the Hero.
I can fly real high.
I can fly real low.
I can fly real fast.
I can fly real slow.
I save creatures big.
I save creatures small.
I save creatures short.
I save creatures tall.
Ma says, "There's something worth saving in us all".

To do all the saving and flying I do,
I have to eat healthy, like I'm sure you do too.
I eat beans and rice,
and potatoes white and sweet,
ham, chicken, turkey
and hamburger meat.
I eat oatmeal so hot
and drink milk that's so cold.
I eat fresh fruits and veggies
and cheese without mold.
I also eat whole grains, which is healthy, I'm told.

So glad to introduce myself to you.
You now know what I eat, and you know what I do.
If perilous pitfalls plight you
please let me hear-o,
you call from the rooftops,
"Come help me O Zero!"
and I will come to you,
for I am always just near-o,
and that's why they call me,
Zero the Hero.
