Safety

The sky may be dark

The battle is long

Screams pull you down

Slow you to a hault

 

You may want to continue

Or just stop where you are

But someone needs you

To get up and start

 

Shes small and beautiful

Looks just like you

Green eyes of wonder

Curls all a mess

 

She watches you closely

Holding tight to the thought

That you will love her one day

As much as her mom

 

She's quiet and calm

Until she gets mad

A firecracker pop

With a fuse to be lit

 

No dolls or tea sets

Bows and ruffles are gone

She plays in the mud

And stays ***** not clean

 

She watches you

And you don't know

She loves you more

Than the ocean and shore

 

She wants to go with you

To fight the odds

She wants to help

You pull our side

 

She's staying home

To keep safe her life

Your battle with them

Would end her

 

So dont forget her

Even if you don't love her

She loves you

No matter what you do
