Shhh be quite be still - she said
Why- the child asked like any child would
Because they will hear you in the night, laughing and loving, knowing no wrong - she whispered
But I don't understand there is nothing I fear, I'm brave and I'm strong-  the child giggles
You will understand one day when your no longer a child- she sighed
I'll be a kid forever- declared the child with certainty
I hope, I wish but just remember this, be quite be still or they will put you down and you will be out of luck. With no memory of the reason for your laugh- she cried
Don't be sad, I promise I'll be ok. I won't let them get me- said the child who will grow up one day
