I bought a broom for her
Told her a good girl keeps their corners clean
Corners hidden from the world as well.
Told her to move into a nice street
Behaved path.
Prayed she wouldn't be stubborn,
Surprisingly my prayers were answered this time.

There must be someone up there.
There must be no one down here.

She stared at her broom,
Knowing not what to do with it.
She was growing too fast,
I had to jump in.
Sweedy, this is for sweeping,
"You hold it up right and wave it,
With your hands on your hips,
Your smile blinding.
Treat this as your wand.
You are your own Godmother.
You sweep like this,
Discard of all hurt the world has to give.
It wipes tears as well
And you can blow your nose.
When he breaks your heart,
One sweep will turn it from bitter to sweet.
It's magical. It will keep you safe. "
I told her all this without knowing,
A broom won't be sufficient in the present world,
She gon need a vacuum cleaner
