I cannot be seen if I cover my face
There are scary beasts hiding under my bed
I cannot fall when my Daddy carries me
The Shadows in my room have horrid faces
I cannot be hurt if teddy is with me
When you turn off the night light terror finds me
I cannot get lost when Mummy takes my hand
Don’t leave me alone, I’ll cry. I can’t see you
I cannot grow up. I’m safe, when I’m not scared.

I really miss when the children were young. It was such an amazing feeling to be able to instill a feeling of safety and optimism, to be a towering figure in their little lives. So many do overs in mind also.
I really loved your piece
