With a warm hug,
and a soothing embrace,
it says

"It is okay to cry here,
because no one can hear you."

it says

"It is okay to hide here,
because no one can find you."

As you sink to your knees,
and wrap your arms around your body,

"It is okay,
because your mother loves you.

"It is okay if you don't wash yourself
because no matter what happens,
you'll walk out of here clean.
Don't be afraid to stand up,
because the world
is not as scary
as it may seem."
