Thou shan't sleep until the sun disappears,
and the China moon lights up the streets like
a big diamond in the sky.
My mother always say's
that every night,
I lay my eyes
down to sleep.
When I go to sleep
my momma tells me
a story about China
where I live.
China is so Lovely
at night when the
moon sparkles,
It lights up
the sky.
Jan likes to gaze
out the window
and look at the Man
and the moon.
I live in south China
the nights are cooler and
the summers are hot.
I'm 10years old my
name is Jan,
I was born in a
Gorgeous Cute
Little small town.
My momma is Japanese
and my Father is American.
Jan ha her Daddies
fair skin, yet she
has her Mothers
silky black hair.
Adorable little girl with
soft fair skin midnight black
hair and sea green eyes.
She's so beautiful just
like the colorful
sunsets,
In the China sea.
Momma, momma
tell me about Japan,
Japan I grew up
in was but a beauty.
Jan run along now
Why? Momma,
Because Papa
is taking you some
where.
Papa where are
you talking me,
I'm taking you to
a Beijing Opera.
Daddy is there princes
and princess there?
Yes young one
there is and there's
hero's and villain's
also my little dove.
Oh! papa I've only
dreamed of such
wonderful things.
Yes my little
sunbeam.
I'm going to put
on my best dress papa,
Put your red
on dress.
No papa, I'm
putting on my
white dress with
red roses on it.
That's my little
blooming rose.
My two beautiful
roses.
Daddy say's
my little girl Jan
and my wonderful
wife Jezela it's just
us three ok girls,
You and your momma
is all I need.
Momma
what are you making to eat
for lunch?
Chow main young one
come now let's all of
us eat before you both go.
Before they ate they said
a little prayer thanked god
and then ate and kissed momma
bye and said I love you.
Bye Jezelea say's
to Rob and Jan.
Not too late
now she's got to
go to Practice for
Wushu,
The big day
for her.
Rob say's it's over
at about 7:30pm at night
then we come home my love.
It's about 6:30pm and Jan
sits in Daddies lap and falls
asleep,
Before the shows over
some people say what a
beautiful little young lady.
He say's thank you
She's my daughter Jan,
They say you're a
lucky man to have such a
beautiful daughter.
Thank you I'll be
going home now bye,
Jan and Rob got home
and 7:30pm as Rob off
her shoes and laid her
down on her bed Rob left.
Jezlea woke up
Jan and she put on
her Pajamas and went
to bed.
Momma say's lay your
sleepy eyes down and
the moon sleeps tucked
in with you in the clouds.
Then the sun will wake
up when you awaken fair one.
Rob get's a letter
saying he must go
to war,
He's 26 years old
not too young not too old
to go so he shall go.
And Jan is getting
read for Wushu
but she's not happy
that daddies leaving.
Don't fret little
one before you know
it I'll be home,
Daddies little princesses
is such a big girl
save those tears
for happiness my sugar plum..
Your just full
of sugar,
Your growing up
like your Momma.
The soldiers come to
take Rob
to war,
As Jan YELLED no
don't take my daddy away.
He's my daddy
not yours,
Hush, hush little
fair white blooming rose
never fade away from me.
Pray for me
my little sunbeam,
As he held his girl Jan one single
tear came from his
eye and he caught it
in a glass cup and said every time you miss me..
Keep this tear it will
bring you luck.
Keep this picture me
so you know if I die
I'll always watch over
you and Momma,
Always think of me
daddy never forget me daddy
no I won't forget.
After that Jan never
saw her daddy again..
a year later,
She found out that her
papa was killed in the war.
Oh she missed her papa's
sweet and kind words as
she started to cry
until her face was all red with tears.
She had a brother he
was 5 years old his
name was Robby lee
Roberts and that was
my daddies name say's Jan.
Jan was a full
grown woman she is
22 years old.
She had enough
grief in her life,
Years went by and little
Robby grew up and went
into war like his Daddy.
Robby Lee came back
a hero,
He just got back
from the war.
Robby saved America
and was given a golden metal
of bravery,
He was given a metal
for saving a sergeant..
For saving an
important life
we'll call you
Sergeant Roberts.
So his job was
to be a sergeant,
And to train men
to be soldiers.
Jan was happy
to see Robby he
was her only living
family alive,
Momma died at old age
when Jan was grown.
