We were playing one day, the middle child and me A little girl of five years, she was serving tea She had lined up the dolls and then she told me these words "You gotta make sure my children get seconds and thirds." Seconds and thirds, that's what they should get Not the back of a hand or a life of regret And now a five-year old woman says these little words "You gotta make sure my children get seconds and thirds." Another day, the same room, the oldest child of three A little boy of six years pretending to be The father he barely knew, the one who O.D.ed and died Now he's protecting his sisters from their mother's hard life But it's Seconds and thirds, that's what he should get Not an early adulthood or abuse or neglect And now a six-year old man has to hide how he hurts Instead of holding his plate up for seconds and thirds There's some kind of thread that these children hang on to And a hope that their parents get better one day Though the thread's awfully thin it can cover the wounding And that's where hope gets in the way The last one arrives, the youngest of all A little girl, only four, so delicate and frail We'd play doctor and nurse, we used band-aids each time There were never enough for all the hurts that she'd find She'd walk out of my office from her head to her toes All covered with band-aids and God only knows How she'll get to her healing through all of that pain Dear Lord, let me help if I can Now these three little souls have new parents today Adopted by grace and a couple who said They'd be there to provide, to protect and to love In a home where there'd be no drinking or drugs Only seconds and thirds, that's what they would get Not conscription to lives where their needs were not met And I hope that they'll soar like the clouds and the birds While they're feasting and flying on seconds and thirds I hope they're feasting and flying on seconds and thirds
