Paul Alexander's Song From Songs of Love Foundation, Words & Music by Bill Smith
Vocals by Valerie Smith

Refrain:
Paul Alexander, where do you get your energy from?
You love to play and run
Paul Alexander, there's so many things that you want to do
We can't keep up with you
A fun-loving child, a happy little boy
You bring us so much joy


Splish splish splash, what was that?
Paul's in the pool getting everybody wet
Boom boom crash, don't even ask
Now Paul's in the ocean chasing waves
Look to the sky Paul, see the airplanes
Listen close, you'll hear the engines roar
Load up your dump truck as fast as you can
Then blow a thousand bubbles all over the sand...

Paul get a book, Mom says so
Of course you pick out Henry The Train
Long and strong, he's your favorite one
Better than a book about airplanes
Or books about race cars 'round they go
And firetrucks, hear the sirens blow
How 'bout something that doesn't have wheels
A story about turtles and seals . . .

When it's snowing outside, Mom and Dad say
Let's go ride on the snow boogie boards
Off they go, down the hill
Daddy says, Paul be careful you're going too fast
When you get home there's another surprise
Some of your friends are here to play
Chloe and Claire, Ginelle and Anaka
Paul, you're not even tired
And you've been playing all day
But classical music and Fred Penner songs
Means Paul Alexander, it's bedtime
Soon you'll be dreaming of what you want to be
A doctor, a firechief, a pilot
How about all three?

I wanted to post this information and a call for bone marrow registrations as they are needed now as ever. Please consider registering even if you are not from an officially subsidized ethnicity. Thank you. And thank Bill and Angeli Maney and other contributors for their generosity and concern.

Transplants Resources; Please Promulgate Widely The Need for Potential Donors



Paul, as you may already know, we had funded an account at The Marrow Foundation several years back with an initial $500 deposit. This was to reimburse anyone, regardless of race, any out-of-pocket costs to register with NMDP. This has grown to $3,875. As far as I know, no one has taken advantage of this account, but I received a statement last month with the new balance. It’s Group Fund # 3279, TMF# 1277 Paul Alexander Lerro Fund. Best wishes always,

Angeli

We will post a personal entry soon to fill in the period since last post. Suffice to say that Paul Alexander is turning 7 this January and we are blessed with his good health, energy, intelligence and that signature little senator charm. Thanks to all who have visited and commented here for your goodwill, prayers and concern.
