Why God Made Little Girls (the following poem is framed by a doll and teddy bear tea party with balloons, hearts and butterflies)
God made the world with towering trees, majestic mountains and restless seas, then paused and said, "It needs one more thing– someone to laugh and dance and sing, to walk the woods and gather flowers, to commune with nature in the quiet hours," so God made little girls with laughing eyes and bouncing curls, with joyful hearts and infectious smiles, enchanting ways and feminine wiles and when He'd completed the task He'd begun, He was pleased and proud of the job that He'd done. For the world when seen through a little girl's eyes greatly resembles paradise."

Why God Made Little Boys (the following poem is frame by a sailboat, fishing pole and fish, football, baseball and bat with stars and planets)
God made the world out of His dreams of majestic mountains, oceans and streams, prairies and plains and wooded land, then paused and thought, "I need someone to stand on top of the mountains, to conquer the seas, explore the plains and climb the trees. Someone to start out small and grow sturdy and strong like a tree," and so... He created little boys, full of spirit and fun, to explore and conquer, to romp and run, with dirty faces and banged up chins, with courteous hearts and boyish grins. When He had completed the task He'd begun, He surely said, "That's a job well done."
