To a child
I am an adult
I'm someone they should trust,
I'm someone they can come to,
especially when they must.

I have to be vigilant,
and always be of good cheer,
because I can never know,
when I need to lend my ear.

To a child,
I'm a super hero,
I'm the monster of the city,
I'm whom ever they need me to be,
even when they're being silly.

I'm someone they look up to,
when they're feeling down,
I've got to be ready,
to play the happy clown.

To a child
I'm the words,
that they need to hear most,
to chase away the monsters,
and to catch up all the ghosts.

Their past may come to haunt them,
their mistakes have got them crying,
but yet afraid to make a sound.
Well I hope that I'll be there,
for even just that moment,
I'll put away their fears and worries,
as soon as I come around.

Because to a child I am much more,
than just another face,
I'm an adult,
who troubles their troubles, and then I give chase.

So to the child,
of any age at all,
I must be ready,
to catch them
when they fall.

From 1 to a 100,
man or lady both,
they tell me their little secrets,
and I ask,
"Wanna go catch some goths?"
